Select control element in Visual Studio in ASP.NET

I am new in ASP.NET, and I have a website which I opened it by MS Visual 2010. The problem is when I try to select a control element I can not because it seems behind ContentPlaceHolder. See the image below, what can I do!

enter image description here

Here is the code of the page:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">
<title>Job Seekers : Search Job in Oman</title>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">

    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>

    <asp:Table runat="server" Width="800" style="direction: ltr" Visible="False">
    <asp:TableRow VerticalAlign="Top">

        <asp:TableCell ID="cell_register" runat="server"></asp:TableCell>
        <asp:TableCell RowSpan="2" VerticalAlign="Top" ColumnSpan="2" CssClass="tdcloud2">            
        <h2>Last News</h2>
        <div id="news" runat="server"></div>
 </asp:TableCell>
         <asp:TableCell RowSpan="2" VerticalAlign="Top" Width="200" CssClass="tdcloud">
            <h2>Site Services</h2>

            <hr /><br />
            <img src="Images/bullet.png" />  <a href="AvailableJobs.aspx">Available Jobs</a><br />
            <img src="Images/bullet.png" />  <a href="CompaniesProfiles.aspx">Compnaies Profiles</a><br />
            <img src="Images/bullet.png" />  <a href="AddCompany.aspx">Register Company</a>
         </asp:TableCell>

    </asp:TableRow>

    <asp:TableRow VerticalAlign="Top">
            <asp:TableCell ID="cell_login" runat="server" Width="200" CssClass="tdcloud">
            <h2>Login</h2>

Just simple solution - > cut control from table cell and paste outside table. - > perform your action what you want -> then again cut the control and paste again in the previous cell.

It will work.

If you want to select a control and could not choose that control from your designer control holder,in design mode, click F4 and on the top of Properties box, you can find a list of all controls in your form/page, as listed into a listbox. But if you want to select a part of control, ex: login button of a login control, over the mouse on the control, and click control task (a little > sign) and click Convert to Template,this action explodes the control and you can select each part of it, as you want.

I think you are having a master page and trying to access the master page's control from content page. If this is the case then, go to master page and access the control there. Otherwise look for the control in source view instead of design view.
