Thanks, the link was very helpful I have taken a look at the link that you provided I assume now that I can use uuid_setvar to accomplish what I want Assuming that the uuid is 53d37581-1f90-44bf-860a-addbc8430e3a, it seems that my code would need to change to private void injectCdrCode_ExecuteCode(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { TcpClient newClient = new TcpClient(); newClient.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8021); NetworkStream tcpStream = newClient.GetStream(); byte[] sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("api uuid_setvar 53d37581-1f90-44bf-860a-addbc8430e3a myChannelVariable 12345"); tcpStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length); tcpStream.Close(); newClient.Close(); } catch(Exception ex) { throw ex; } } My question now becomes, how do I go about finding out the uuid for the session ? Is that obtainable via mod_event_socket or is there another way ?

See http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Event_socket for more information.
