You can’t set the value of a Textbox to a generic control (especially one that is really a label). Plus you forgot the New keyword when initializing UserName. Depending on exactly what you’re trying to do, you may want to try the following…

'This will set the textbox's Text to the label's text.
Dim UserName As New Textbox 
UserName.Text = CType(CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("Label11"), Label).Text

Or

'This will cast the label to a new label control you define in code.
Dim UserName as New Label
UserName = CType(CreateUserWizard2.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("Label11"), Label)
