CF to .NET: request and session scopes

Coldfusion has a request and session scope and I was determined to find the same in .NET. After some googling I stumbled across this:

HttpContext.Current.Session["Username"] = username;

Using "HttpContext.Current.Session" and "HttpContext.Current.Request" I was able to start a session for use once they logged in. Also I could now store things the request scope which I don't really need because .NET's Viewbag handle most of what I needed for that. In the example above I am storing the username after a login into the session. I am sure there is a more proper way of doing it, but for basic concepts this worked.
