The Session property provides programmatic access to the properties and methods of the HttpSessionState class. Because, ASP.NET pages contain a default reference to the System.Web namespace (which contains the HttpContext class), you can reference the members of HttpContext on an .aspx page without the fully qualified class reference to HttpContext. For example, you can use just Session("SessionVariable1") to get or set the value of the session state variable SessionVariable1. However, class file will not inherit System.web namespace. So we need access like below,

HttpContext.Current.Session("Session_Name")

The Application_Start and _End events are related to your web application instance as a whole, i.e. when it is loaded or unloaded from IIS. It is not related to a particular user or session ending. It does not make sense to refer to the 'current session' in these events (think referring to instance properties in a static handler).

Furthermore, it is impossible to detect when the user closes his browser, in the general case.

I think you are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist: ASP.net cleans up expired (or explicitly terminated) sessions for you already.
