For creating the logged in session ID, you need to take a string variable for that for example ::

C#

string strSessionID;
strSessionID = HttpContext.Current.Session.SessionID;

Your sessionID will store in strSessionID.
and for creatring the session variables for displiying the data like firstname,last name on page/website, go through below format:

C#

session["firstname"] = fistname;
session["lastnane"]  = lastname;

Now you can use your above session variables on any your web pages.

For creating the session ID ::

and For displaying login Information you need to store userID,firstname,lastname in session variables.

Storing and retrieving values from Session

C#

//Storing UserName in Session
Session["UserName"] = txtUser.Text;

C#

//Check weather session variable null or not
if (Session["UserName"] != null)
{
    //Retrieving UserName from Session
    lblWelcome.Text = "Welcome : " + Session["UserName"];
}
else
{
 //Do Something else
}

SessionID:
The SessionID property is used to uniquely identify a browser with session data on the server. The SessionID value is randomly generated by ASP.NET and stored in a non-expiring session cookie in the browser. The SessionID value is then sent in a cookie with each request to the ASP.NET application.

So my understanding is that you want to use sessions for keeping the user credentials.

Here is a small snippet that does the same

C#

string username = TextBox1.Text;
string password = TextBox2.Text; 

if (user.ValidateUser(username, password)) //assuming this function will take care of checking user in DB
 {
             Session["UserId"] = username;
 }

and to show this on page:

C#

string username = Session["UserId"] as string;
label1.Text = "Welcome" + (username != null)? username : "Guest";

P.S. Here is an entie project that uses this approach to keep track of users: YaBlogEngine - A Tiny Blog Engine written in ASP.NET/C#[^]. You could find more useful code snippets here.
