you have custom controls on that page? custom controls cannot directly
access session, you need to first get a reference to the session object from
httpcontext.current.

If that still doesn't work, you will need to put code to display the session
variable in the page load and troubleshoot from there

if(Session["UserName"]!= null)
    Response.Write("<script>alert('" + Session["UserName"].ToString() +
"')</script>");

should display something
