If what you want to retrieve is a list of strings:

List<String> data = (List<String>) Session["data"];

If what you mean is that you have an Object that contains a list of strings:

ObjectWithListOfStrings data = (ObjectWithListOfStrings)Session["data"];
List<String> retrievedData = data.listOfStringsArray;

var myList =  Session["data"] as List<string>;

or

var myList = (List<string>)Session["data"];

Not at all, what you posted wasn't just wrong, it wouldn't even compile.
