Unable to access controls on the page‏

I am trying to set image visibility based on some user information. Howver I always receive the following error message Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'XXX.SearchAcme' does not contain a definition for 'acmeBlemont' and no extension method 'acmeBlemont' accepting a first argument of type 'XXX.SearchAcme' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) This is my markup and code behind so far...any ideas what the problem could be? I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Using FindControl did not work either and while debugging the page only seems to have 1 control in the ControlCollection. However, when you hover over "this" on a breakpoint, you can drill down and see the images.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Search.aspx.cs" src="Search.aspx.cs" Inherits="XXX.SearchAcme"
MasterPageFile="~/Center/Lobby.Master" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="SponsorContent" runat="server">

</asp:Content>

namespace XXX
{
public partial class SearchAcme : AdvisorPage
{
public SearchAcme()
: base(ProgressNavIds.ChooseSearchOption)
{

    }

     protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnPreRender(e);
        this.acmeBlemont.Visible = true;
    }
}

}

I've tried this and managed to reproduce your error. Suprisingly, removing the following attribute from your page declaration seems to resolve it.

src="Search.aspx.cs"

God I hate that attribute! Good to know, but I don't think I can remove it :( so I have to rely on a recursive find control method, which may be a little less efficient but does the job.
