MVC CORE setting a session

I've been following the Microsoft documentation trying to set a session using this line 

HttpContext.Session.SetString(SessionKeyName, "Rick");

from the page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/app-state?tabs=aspnetcore2x

but it gives the error

'ISession' does not contain a definition for 'SetString'

There's a Set option, but that takes a byte.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong and why I'm using the wrong HttpContext.Session?

SetString,GetString,GetInt32 and SetInt32 are extension methods on ISession defined inside the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http namespace. So to use these, you should add a using statement to this namespace in your class.

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;

Now in your class, you can use these extension methods

HttpContext.Session.SetString("Test", "Rick");
HttpContext.Session.SetInt32("Age", 25);
