I have a panel in Itewmtemplate of list view it's only supposed to show when user is logged in, by default the visibility = false. Help is appreciated.

here is my c# code:

Code:

Panel pnlOptions = (Panel)ListView1.FindControl("pnlOptions");
    pnlOptions.Visible = true;

Aspx Code:

Code:

<asp:Panel ID="pnlOptions" runat="server" Visible="false">
    <ul>
        <ul>
        <li style="float: left">Option 1:</li>
        <li style="float: left">dropdown here</li>
        </ul>
    <li style="float: left">Option 1:</li>
    <li style="float: left">dropdwon here</li>
    </ul>

    </asp:Panel>

My problem was I was trying to acces it wrongly through a function I created when I was supposed to use the Item_Created Event here is the final working code:

Code:

protected void ListView1_ItemCreated(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
Control control = e.Item.FindControl("pnlOptions");
Panel pnlOptions = control as Panel;
pnlOptions.Visible = true;
}
