That is right.

DataGrid oCtrl = (DataGrid) Page.FindControl("myGrid");
oCtrl.Visible = false;

In some cases you might need to know the name of another container before getting to the exact control you want. Maybe a panel or if you are using Infragistics controls an UltraWebTab.

// find the tab control on the web page
UltraWebTab oTab = (UltraWebTab) this.FindControl("myTab")

// find the grid in the UltraWebTab
DataGrid oGrid = (DataGrid) oTab.FindControl("myGrid")

enjoy.


Merry Christmas!
