HttpContext is NULL

HttpContext.Current is null on a callback or when on a different thead. How do i get around this. I have seen few examples where they say

LocalDataStoreSlot slot = Thread.GetNamedDataSlot("SlotName");
 return (HttpContext)Thread.GetData(slot);

It doesnt work.. and honestly it didnt make much sense.

Any suggestions?

You'd need to pass the HttpContext object into what ever you start the thread with:

e.g.

var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(
        state =>
        {
            var context = (HttpContext)state;
            //do your stuff here
        },
    HttpContext.Current);
