Your base class Controller already implements a property HttpContext.

You can either reference it fully qualified: System.Web.HttpContext.Current... or use the Property of your controller, just like HttpContext.Session. For the second option, your method must be non-static though.

One more reason for the error is that you can't use HttpContext.Current.Session and Server.MapPath() in static method

In such case you can make use of HostingEnvironment.MapPath()
