You have to cast the session first. Following is an example:

ArrayList ar = new ArrayList();
            ar.Add("A");

            Session["id"] = ar;
            Response.Write("Item Count="+((ArrayList)Session["id"]).Count.ToString());

[sanjaycedti]

ArrayList ar=Session["id"] as ArrayList;

or

ArrayList ar=(ArrayList)Session["id"];
