You can’t just access other pages, ASP.NET runtime is ignorant about other pages, you have access to your current page only!

You can use the Session variable to store some data temporarily for current user session, the Session object is available on every ASP.NET Page.

  Session("adminname") = CurName

On other page where you want to show it you just reload it from Session

  Dim NewName = Session("adminname")
