Hi
On MVC4, I'm implementing an attribute derived from "ActionFilterAttribute", but I need to get to data that's stored inside the user session for logging purposes

C#

public class MvcTraceAttribute: ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(HttpActionContext actionContext)
    {
        // How do I get to HttpContext.Session["..."] from here?
    }
}

Any ideas?

Thanks
Eugene

I was trying to get to HttpContext via actionContext; didn't realize it was static!

Thanks
