It's not really necessary to add that to the web.config. Code like this should work (from within your Page_Init() of your .aspx.cs file), assuming you have a lable control named "lblTest" on the form.

if (Session["Variable"] == null)
{
   Session.Add("Variable", "Hello");
}		   	
else
{
   this.lblTest.Text = Session["Variable"].ToString();
}

(although I'm showing a label, a textbox works exactly the same way).

This is the "Set" portion of it. To "Get", depending on how you are posting variables to/from the pages (through querystring values or via POST), you retrieve the variables using the Request object:

// Querystring
if (Request.QueryString["SomeVariable"] != null)
{
   // Save the querystring variable into the session
   Session["SomeVariable"] = Request.QueryString["SomeVariable"];
}

// Post
if (Request.Form["SomeVariable"] != null)
{
   // Save the posted variable into the session
   Session["SomeVariable"] = Request.Form["SomeVariable"];
}
