 Snippet

<li><a runat="server" href="~/Admin/PendingRegistrations">Pending Registrations <asp:Label class="badge badge-danger" ID="Label1" runat="server" /></a></li>

Here is the code in my code behind file.

Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DefaultConnection").ConnectionString
Dim con As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand
cmd.Connection = con
con.Open()
cmd.CommandText = "Select Count(*) From User_Register"
Dim UserCount = cmd.ExecuteScalar()
con.Close()
label1.text = UserCount

Please Help

I found a solution

Dim lv As LoginView = DirectCast(FindControl("myLoginView"), LoginView)
                Dim ln As Label = DirectCast(lv.FindControl("Count"), Label)
                ln.Text = UserCount.ToString
