Yes you can access the session in your ashx file. For that you need to implement IRequiresSessionState interface in your handler class. In ashx file you can access session with HttpContext Object from ProcessRequest method.

Thanks Amit. I have created a session variable in ProcessRequest method. Now how to get that session value in .aspx page?

In aspx file
I call the session by
string a = Session["sessionName"].toString();

For this I got only null value. But when I included the following code in Web.Config, it works well.

<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionstate mode="InProc" cookieless="true">

In PrcessRequest method I created a session like
context.Session["sessionName"]=stringValue;

In aspx file
I call the session ust by
string a = Session["sessionName"].toString();

For this I got only null value. But when I included the following code in Web.Config, it works well.

XML

<configuration>
   <system.web>
<sessionState mode="InProc"  cookieless="true" />
