Initialize your variable like this

protected string abc;

and then assign value in page_load

abc= "test";
DataBind();

your aspx:

<asp:Label ID="myLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# abc%>' />

You can do something like:

<asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%= YourVariable %>' ID="test123" />

This is a bit of a duplicate. See this thread.
