What exactly are you checking, and why? The "session" is normally handled
automatically by ASP.NET, and anything you add to the "session state" will
stay there until the session itself is torn down because of (for example) a
session timeout (person walks away for 20 minutes). You rarely need to check
explicitly for the "existence of a session" - if the session has expired,
the user will no longer be able to access restricted pages, for example.
(All this, of course, assumes you're using ASP.NET to manage session, state,
security, etc.)
