Nothing to do more....Just assign the username textbox value to the Session variable in the login page and access that Session variable to the master page:

Login page:

C#

   DataTable dt = Check username in the database and put in a datatable
   if (dt != null && dt.Rows.Count > 0)
 {
      Session["UserName"] = txtUserName.Text.Trim();

      Response.Redirect("/Home.aspx");

}
   else
   {
        lblMsg.Text = "username or password invalid";
   }

In the master page:

C#

if (Session["UserName"] != null)
                    lblWelcome.Text = "Welcome " + Session["UserName"].ToString();
                else
                    lblWelcome.Text = "Welcome Guest"

Please read my comment to the question.

I'd suggest to start here: How to: Pass Values Between ASP.NET Web Pages[^] + passing Session variables from ContentPage to MasterPage's Control[^].

This is the example in which we can store session value in the master page lable control...

Label lb = this.Master.FindControl("LblTitle") as Label;
lb.Text = Session["Categoryid"];
