how to change visible of an asp.net control of master page in content page?

Question

I have a Master Page that have a asp:Panel control and the code that sets Visible = False in it's code behind.
Now i want to change Visible = True in one of content page. How do it?

Master page code behind:

AccountUserInfo.Visible = false;  

Content page code behind:

((Panel)Master.FindControl("AccountUserInfo")).Visible = true;

Apparently content page's code behind don't work.

Answer 1

The master page code that set the control to Visible = False is being executed after the code on the page.

Try to place the page code on the PreRender event. It is the one of the last events of the cycle:

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
    ((Panel)Master.FindControl("AccountUserInfo")).Visible = true; 
    base.OnPreRender(e);
}
