Hi friends,

I am back-porting some code I wrote for a v10 site to use in a v8 site, but having issues...

Basically, I am trying to get the currently-loading node Id (when opening a content node in the back-office for editing), and store that id so I can retrieve it for use in a property editor's rendering.

Using the 'SendingContentModel' event, in my v10 site I was able to set a Session variable, but in v8, when I try to set a Session variable, the Session is always NULL:

[RuntimeLevel(MinLevel = RuntimeLevel.Run)]
public class StoreUmbracoSessionInfoEventComponent : IComponent
{
    public void Initialize()
    {
        EditorModelEventManager.SendingContentModel += StoreUmbracoSessionInfo;
    }

    public void Terminate()
    {
        // Unsubscribe during shutdown
        EditorModelEventManager.SendingContentModel -= StoreUmbracoSessionInfo;
    }

        private void StoreUmbracoSessionInfo(
            System.Web.Http.Filters.HttpActionExecutedContext sender,
            EditorModelEventArgs<Umbraco.Web.Models.ContentEditing.ContentItemDisplay> e)
        {
            //if this is NOT an Element, Store the current node info in Session var
            if (e.Model.IsElement == false)
            {
                HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current; //THIS IS NOT NULL

                context.Session["UmbracoNode"]= e.Model.Id; //NULL REF ERROR HERE - .Session is NULL
            }
        }   
    }

I have added the following to web.config to enable Session State - perhaps something is missing here?

<system.web>
    ...
    <sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="20"  regenerateExpiredSessionId="true"/>
    ...
    <pages enableSessionState="true">
        ...
    </pages>
    ...
</system.web>

I also looked at storing it in a cookie, but couldn't get that to work either.
