Hi sunny, You can assign & access any type of data with session irrespective of type(strongly typed model) of your view. So, Not a problem straight forward you can access it in your view. If your value is just a simple string or any primitive : @{ var username = session["username"] username } If your value is complex object then you need to typecast. Thank you.
