Check the value of z. Is it 1 always?

Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration.

hmmm I have solved it by keeping controls in a div named "Box" and keeping runat="server" I tried to search in the div Everything is correct I dont know why but directly searching is giving error

The "FindControl" method is not recursive, and probably your button is not hosted on the page itself rather is a child/child/child...child control of another one.
