@user2835256: from the code in Admin.aspx you are returning from the current page in either if or else right? so further code i mean after if-else block code is getting executed? — Sudhakar Tillapudi

@user2835256 : but if that is the case then there is no way of getting the null reference Exception right? — Sudhakar Tillapudi

I agree with – Sudhakar Tillapudi - you are returning your page. Please try:

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"]))
                    {
                        string sessionUserId = Session["UserId"] as string;

                        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionUserId))
                        {

                            Session["UserId"] = Server.HtmlEncode(s.user_id.ToString());
                        } FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(tbUserName.Text, false);
                        Response.Redirect("~/");
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        string sessionUserId = Session["UserId"] as string;

                        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionUserId))
                        {

                            Session["UserId"] = Server.HtmlEncode(s.user_id.ToString());
                        }
                        FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(tbUserName.Text, false);
                    }

I cannot see ASPxLabel1 in the aspx file. if you have changed the name in the front end sometimes VS forget or cannot change it try to rename it what you want in the deginer.cs file of your page.
