# Recreate a Session by Using Your Session ID

I would like to know if [ASP.NET](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/934/default-folders-available-inside-the-asp-dot-net-application-folder) has something similar to session_id [function](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13001/multi-statement-table-valued-user-defined-function-in-sql-server) from PHP.

## I would like to do something like it using ASP.NET:

```
session_id($_GET['session_name']);session_start();if ($_SESSION['mydata'] != 'somepreviousvaluesetted') {       
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");        exit;}
```

Hi Jayden,

The session object has a SessionID property, but it does not give you the ability to start a session; however, in global.asax, there is a Session_Start handler which fires when the session does start. The session starts when the user accesses the application.
