HttpContext does not contain a definition for Current

Question

Hi Team,

I am getting an error as " HttpContext does not contain a definition for Current"

private string ClientIP()
{

string ipAddress = string.Empty;
try
{
  string strHostName = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress.ToString();
ipAddress = System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(strHostName).GetValue(0).ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

}
finally
{

}
return ipAddress;
}

Please assist me as what need to be added instead of Current ?

You don't need current, you already have httpContext with all information of the request. So you can get IpAddress directly .Net Core 2/3/5 HttpContext.Connection.RemoteIpAddress; if this doesn't work then try the below code .Net Core 1 var connectionFeature = Context .GetFeature (); if (connectionFeature != null) { string ip = connectionFeature.RemoteIpAddress.ToString(); }

@Saumya HttpContext.Connection is a property that helps to Get information about the underlying connection for the current request. applicable to .net core 2.1, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 5.0 Namespace: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http Assembly: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions.dll Package: Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Ref v5.0.0

Hi, use it like this, HttpContext.Session.SetString("session name","session string"); var priceDetails = HttpContext.Session.GetString("session name"); Don't forget to add services.AddSession(); in ConfigureServices and add app.UseSession(); in Configure first.
