Hi,
I'm trying to use TargetingSystem.TargetingContextProfile as Session, but I
can't retrive the value from other pages. My question is how to use
TargetingContextProfile
as Session? Can I do that ?
Thanks for the help!

Set value.
CommerceContext csContext = CommerceContext.Current;
csContext.TargetingSystem.TargetingContextProfile["Key"].Value = lid;

Get value
CommerceContext csContext = CommerceContext.Current;
value = csContext.TargetingSystem.TargetingContextProfile["Key"].Value;

TargetingContext is a non-peristent profile - you get a new one on every
page by design (a new Guid is created for each page request where you
access this profile through the TargetingSystem property).

You can create your own non-persistent profile definition for this purpose
(and don't map it to any storage) or use TargetingContext profile through
the profile APIs and not through the
TargetingSystem.TargetingContextProfile property, which is where you get a
new one created with a new Guid on every page request.

Note that this DOES NOT WORK in a load-balanced Web farm scenario; a
non-peristent profile only exists within the profile object cache which is
local to the process (in-memory).  You're probably much better off using
ASP.NET session state, cookies, or another mechanism (such as DBStorage
persistence or your own DB persistence).
