How about WelcomeForm.usernameTxb.Text = LoginForm.txtUsername.Text;

its so simple and basic in ASP Dot Net. if user is autherised then create session and then redirect to the page you want like this:

if(tblUserReg.Rows.Count == 1)
{
    Session["userid"] = tblUserReg.Rows[0]["user_id"].tostring();
    Response.Redirect("welcome.aspx");
}

//here tblUserReg is the resultant table retrive from database which have user and pasword correct like textboxes and status is on
//Session["userid"] will have the id as a value which is going to be null when user logout

Please also add a condition on homepage - load event like this:

if(Session["userid"] == null || session["userid"].tostring() == "")
    response.Redirect(login.aspx);

and on logout button click please make the session null and redirect to login page like this:

void onLogoutClick()
{
    session["userid"] = null;
    response.Redirect("login.aspx");
}

Here's one way,

If you show the login form as a dialog, then show it in the start of your main form, you read the dialogresult to either continue or end.

Assign Button_Login as the Accept button, and assign a Cancel button on the login form.

in your authentication code, if the user is authenticated just return, otherwise call the cancel button performclick method
