Passing Session variable from one controller to another

Question

I have created a session for User Login as:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(UserLogin lc)
{
    string mainconn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBConnection"].ConnectionString;
    SqlConnection sqlconn = new SqlConnection(mainconn);
    SqlCommand sqlcomm = new SqlCommand("UserLogin");
    sqlconn.Open();
    sqlcomm.Connection = sqlconn;
    sqlcomm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
    sqlcomm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Email", lc.Email);
    sqlcomm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Password", lc.Password);
    SqlDataReader sdr = sqlcomm.ExecuteReader();
    
    if(sdr.Read())
    {
        FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(lc.Email, true);
        Session["Email"] = lc.Email.ToString();
        return RedirectToAction("Welcome");
    }

Now I need to use the Session variable stored here in another controller. How can I do so?

This looks a lot like you're storing plain-text passwords in the DB, which is very much not okay. It's one of those things you shouldn't even do for practice/learning/proof of concept projects. — Joel Coehoorn

Session Variable works with HTTP Request you'll get the session variable in any controller inherited from BaseController after once you have set the Session variable key value.As Session is a Dictionary Type Object.
