Try removing the ">" at the end of "World!">"

Mr.Busher,
I tried by removing ">". I think error is not in that line. Its in server control line. That is in <asp:label id........./> line. Thanks.

First of all, you say:

"That is in <asp:label id........./> line"

I don't see a label control anywhere in your code. I assume this is what you are calling "Text".

Second, you something like this:
------------------------------------------
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
label1.Text = "Hello ASP.NET! Welcome to Dotnet World!"
End Sub
------------------------------------------

instead of just this:

------------------------------------------
label1.Text = "Hello ASP.NET! Welcome to Dotnet World!"
------------------------------------------

"label1" is the name of the label control I used.
