C#

Button v = ((ViewComplaint)Page).FindControl("TrnsButton");

1) ErrorAn object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'System.Web.UI.Control.Page.get'

2) Error Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Web.UI.Control' to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

I am not sure why you are getting error 1!
This code should work
Button v = (Button)Page.FindControl("TrnsButton");
So it must have something to do with your casting Page to ViewComplaint.

For error 2 you will need to cast to Button

C#

Button v = (Button)((ViewComplaint)Page).FindControl("TrnsButton");
