I think you are asking the same questions here. Besides why would you want to create a session item in js? Remember that js runs on the client. So do you intend to do another http call and set a session item? — von v.

Description

The Session is on the server side so you need to call the server in order to set or retrieve session variables.

Just post to a controller and set the Session variable there.

Sample

jQuery

$(function () {
    $.post('/SetSession/SetVariable', 
           { key : "TestKey", value : 'Test' }, function (data) 
    {
        alert("Success " + data.success);
    });
});

Mvc Controller

public class SetSessionController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult SetVariable(string key, string value)
    {
        Session[key] = value;

        return this.Json(new { success = true });
    }
}

To add a session with the javascript code. just must be to add this code

sessionStorage.setItem("MyId", 123);

and you can use this code to call the added session

var value = sessionStorage.getItem("MyId");
