Another solution that may help solve some of the issues encountered by others in the comments of the selected answer would be to use the Control class with the FindControl() method to access the desired element.

For example:

Control myDiv = (Control)FindControl("myDiv");

myDiv.Visible = false;

I found this to be quite effective, hopefully it can help someone else out.

Give ID and attribute runat='server' as :

<div class="something" ID="mydiv" runat="server">
//somecode
<div>

Codebehind:

You can modify your something styles here.

mydiv.Style.Add("display", "none");

You need the runat='server' attribute and ID.

<div class="something" runat="server" id="TestDiv">
//somecode
<div>

Then in code behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TestDiv.InnerHtml += "test"; // The div is accessible
}

Make it a server tag if you want to access it in CS code.

<div class="something" runat="server" id="something">
//somecode
 <div>

asp.net does not provide a method to search by classes. so you will have to rely on the ID.

CS:

something.InnerHtml = "some code";

All you can do is to loop through all controls and then check if its CssClass is something

i.e. if that div is inside a the div with ID Div1 then you will use:

foreach (Control c in Div1.Controls)
{
    if (c.CssClass == "something")
    {
        // do the moves here
    }
}
