I will explain again what I'm trying to achieve. In master page I have linkbutton named export to export the gridview to excel and I have set visibile property to false so it won't be visible in any pages. Till now it's ok. If I enter input in the textbox and click on Search linkbutton the gridview will be loaded/present. I need to know how to make the export linkbutton visible in test page if the gridview contain values. I have tried using if(GridView1.rows.count>0) Page.Master.FindControl("LinkButtonExport").visible=true; after gridviewbind but that doesn't work (no errors too). Hope this will be more clear.
