Hide user control present in master page

Question

I have an user control in master page with id 'ucTopUser' and a button 'btnSub'.I need to hide the both control from my current aspx page.How can I do this?

Solution

To get the Masterpage from your aspx page you can use this.Master, and to hide the elements you can set their Visible property to false.

((UserControl)this.Master.FindControl("ucTopUser")).Visible = false;
((Button)this.Master.FindControl("btnSub")).Visible = false;
