Thread accessing session variables?

I need to spin of a thread that periodically checks the Application
state. How can a thread access Application or Session states? Send it
the httpContext?

Thanks for your help.
 
The httpcontext is owned by the main thread so you will need to send in a
reference to the object to the thread. Here is an example:
function(System.Web.HttpContext Stream)

{
Stream.Response.Write("vlah");
}
call it like so
function(HttpContext.Current);
 
I don't think this will work. If the thread is running separately from the
main Page execution thread, the Page may have already been processed, in
which case the Response and Request would not be available.

Right. I didn't consider that context. In that case the main thread would
need to wait on the worker thread to be finished.

That would do it. However, it would most probably also eliminate the benefit
that the poster was trying to obtain by using a separate thread. Possibly
not.
