I'm trying to get some info about my users in asp.net mvc application with visual studio 2015.

When i try to to get info from request with 

    System.Web.HttpContext.Current req = new System.Web.HttpContext.Current();

I get an error Error CS0426 The type name 'Current' does not exist in the type 'HttpContext'

Anyone know how to fix this?

Just add the System.Web reference to your project and it'll be ok.

using System.Web; does not generate an error even if the reference does not exist.

If you want to get the current context

System.Web.HttpContext currentContext = System.Web.HttpContext.Current;

If you want to create one (for some reason, like test)

System.Web.HttpContext newContext = new System.Web.HttpContext(
    new System.Web.HttpRequest("", "http://example.com", ""),
    new System.Web.HttpResponse(new System.IO.StringWriter())
    );
