Its because your else condition is not executed, read my comments within the code.

 If ViewState.Item("nameload").ToString = "True" Then  // this is true
        Getname(Me, New EventArgs) // Executed
    ElseIf ViewState.Item("Getnameload").ToString = "True" Then // this is not executed and not attached to the handler
        GetnameDetails(Me, New EventArgs) // not executed
    Else
