making div/htmlgeneric control visible using asp.net

I have a user control with a div like this:

 <div runat="server" id="pnlShippingMethods" class="checkoutstep">
                            <div class="steptitle">
                                <%=GetLocaleResourceString("CheckoutOnePage.ShippingMethods.Title")%>
                                <div style="float: right;">                                  
                                </div>
                                Date from checkout page one for ship method update panel is <%= DateTime.Now.ToString() %>
                            </div>
                            <asp:Panel runat="server" ID="pnlShippingMethodsContent" class="stepcontent">
                                <nopCommerce:CheckoutShippingMethod ID="ctrlCheckoutShippingMethod" runat="server"
                                    OnePageCheckout="true" />
                            </asp:Panel>
                        </div>

I am making in visible = false on page load where this control is placed. Then from another control on the same page I am trying to make it visible like this:

HtmlGenericControl pnlShippingMethods = this.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.FindControl("pnlShippingMethods") as HtmlGenericControl;              

        pnlShippingMethods.Visible = true;

I am able to make visible/invisible user control CheckoutShippingMethod from other user control but not the div. Please suggest how to make it visible

You can use public method instead of it.

1) Make public method/Property in the custom control where you want to show/hide panel. 

public void ShowPanel(bool isVisible)
{
   this.pnlShippingMethods.Visible = isVisible;
}

2) Call this from the other control to show hide panel.

yourCustomrControlObject.ShowPanel(true);
