Error while trying to get to user control properties

[ietprofessional]

Hi!

Dim i As controlname = New controlname 
Dim i2 As LinkButton = CType(i.FindControl("lnkServices"), LinkButton)
i2.Visible = False

I keep getting this error when I try to make a link button invisible that is in a user control:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any ideas?

Tanks!

Searches the current naming container for a server control with the specified id parameter."
It could be that
Dim i As controlname = New controlname
has no children so i.FindControl("lnkServices") returns Nothing.

How do you suggest doing this?

I definitely know there is a linkbutton in this user control because I created it.

THANKS!
