Remarks

For this session cache to work effectively, the ASP.NET Core session has to be configured properly. The latest guidance is provided at https://learn.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/fundamentals/app-state.

In the method public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) in Startup.cs, add the following:

services.AddSession(option =>
{
    option.Cookie.IsEssential = true;
});

In the method public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env) in Startup.cs, add the following:

app.UseSession(); // Before UseMvc()
