I created a page that had some logic to dynamically create the page. It was doing a lot of fetches from the database and then calculating how to display each batch of data that was retrieved. The page became slow.
To speed it up I converted the most time intensive loop to a parallel for each. Inside the loop it was using HttpContext.Current. Once I made the loop Parallel HttpContext.Current was null inside things called inside the loop..
It appears that if you leave the main thread of execution it no longer has a reference to the current context.
I found that HttpContext.Current can be set as well as read. Outside the parallel loop I captured HttpContext.Current in a local variable. I then accessed the variable in the loop. The other things I was calling inside the parallel for each needed HttpContext.Current, so I set HttpContext.Current to the local variable. The other methods were able to read HttpContext.Current as long as they were on the same thread as the calling method.
