You seem to be attempting to use the Session in the constructor of an ASP.NET MVC controller. It's normal that it is null. The session is initialized at a later stage - in the Initialize method:

public class UserPanelController : Controller
{
    Customer cu;
    Customer.customer cust;

    protected override void Initialize(RequestContext requestContext)
    {
        base.Initialize(requestContext);
        if (Login.ChekLogin())
        {
            cust = cu.Read(int.Parse(Session["username"].ToString()));
            // error Occur here Session is null
        }
    }
}

Also you seem to be attempting to cast the username to an integer. Are you sure that this is the case?

Also why are you using a Session for something that's already handled for you by the FormsAuthentication?
