I'm trying to get some info about my users in asp.net mvc application with visual studio 2015.

When i try to to get info from request with

    System.Web.HttpContext.Current req = new System.Web.HttpContext.Current();
I get an error Error   CS0426  The type name 'Current' does not exist in the type 'HttpContext'   
Anyone know how to fix this?
                Uh no, how can I do var req = new System.Web.HttpContext.Current if the ENTIRE problem is that current doesn't seem to exist?!

If you want to get the current context
System.Web.HttpContext currentContext = System.Web.HttpContext.Current;
If you want to create one (for some reason, like test)
System.Web.HttpContext newContext = new System.Web.HttpContext(
    new System.Web.HttpRequest("", "http://example.com", ""),
    new System.Web.HttpResponse(new System.IO.StringWriter())
                Uh, no, not the answer. Impossible since Current doesn't exist in HttpContext for whatever unfathomable reason. So you can't just go System.Web.HttpContext currentContext = System.Web.HttpContext.Current because current doesn't exist. I have no idea why it doesn't exist, and that is the problem here.
