In master page I have a table id 'tgg' visible. In one of the content pages I want this table id 'tgg' to make invisible. I used the following code in content page which throws an error
like:Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTable' to type
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table'.

C#

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
    {
        ((Table)Master.FindControl("tgg")).Visible = false; //error on this line thrown
        base.OnPreRender(e);
    }

Simply Try this:

HtmlTable dt = Master.FindControl("tgg");
dt.Visible = false;

Also add a runat="Server" to your table tag so that you can toggle its visibility / change its css.

I tried:
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
//((Table)Master.FindControl("tgg")).Visible = false;
//base.OnPreRender(e);
HtmlTable dt = Master.FindControl("tgg");
dt.Visible = false;
}
error; ARe you missing a cast? is appearing!

try this<br>
Table tbl = (Table)this.Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1").FindControl("table");
ContentPlaceHolder1: your ContentPlaceHolder ID on Master page
table: table id in Master page
