Page.User.Identity.Name

Does anyone know how I can assign a Session variable to this? so that I can
pull it back out on another page?

Use Guid instead - Assign Guid to each session and then use it for user
authentication. More secure, more reliable, faster

I can't I need the login information to pull dynamic datasets based off of
who logins in, and need to update a table with the login user id which they
used to log in with, which I carry with a Session variable so that I can use
it in two other queries that are built based off of it.

Can this be done with Web Forms? I forgot to put that this is a web app.

that can only be set when an IIdentity is created. you have to manually

handle the forms authentication process (assuming you are using forms
authentication) by participating in either
FormsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate or HttpApplicant.AuthenticateRequest
directly. look up the topics in the documentation under forms
authentication, it will tell you how to customize authentication ticket etc
to achieve this.
