Get SessionID

How can I get the sessionID for a particular execution. I know the report
server automatically generates a sessionID for each execution, but I need to
grab tht as I use that in my processing of stored procedures.
ThanksIf you render the report by SOAP, the SessionID will be exposed as property
of the RS Web service proxy (rs.SessionHeaderValue.SessionId). Look at the
code example for ReportingService.Render method in BOL.

session cookie to the browser and ping-pongs between the browser and the
server with each request.
For example, you do some tracing between the browser and the Report Server
when a report is requested by URL, you will see something like:
/<folderpath>/<reportname>=vazffvza1iojxlbtqp4nwged
In my case, vazffvza1iojxlbtqp4nwged is the session id. If you need to get
from inside your report try to parse the HttpContext.Current to get to the
cookie value

stored procedure. What is it that you are using the session id for? If what
you want to know is who is running the report then you can pass the global
variable user!userid to the stored procedure.
It would seem to me that the sessionid will mean nothing outside of RS.

report you can call custom code located inside your report or in an external
.NET assembly. There, you can get to HttpContect.Current.
Of course, this is not going to work when testing your report within the
Report Designer. So, you need to check if HttpContext.Current is null and,
if yes, default to a dummy session id.
