Hi Nilesh, When we are dealing with webstorage such as session storage or local storage we are doing it client side using javascript , jquery etc. These storage item cannot be accessed in server side code. They are confined to your local browser and can be accessed from client side code running on browser. Now for your condition i think you can go for session on server side. The point where you are setting value in local storage , instead of putting there do a ajax call to any actionresult function on server and set the value in session. Later on fetch it on server side. Again if you want that value client side you need to do ajax call again and get it from server side function in controller. Regards, Mukesh Nayak
