I have an ASHX file:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
On the line:
HttpContext.Current.Session["loggedIn"] = true
Is this how I use sessions properly?

I would guess that Session is the culprit here; with reference here, you might want to try adding : IRequiresSessionState to your handler (the code-behind for the ashx). So you should have something like:
public class Handler1 : IHttpHandler, System.Web.SessionState.IRequiresSessionState
{
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
context.Response.Write("Hello World");
context.Session["loggedIn"] = true;
}
public bool IsReusable
{
get
{
return false;
}
}
}
Note also that it is easier to talk to the context passed in, but HttpContext.Current should work too.

ASHX handlers don't have session information by default.
