How can I hide asp controls or div tags that are inside a asp:GridView

I have this ASP:GridView and I cant seem to be able to declare the asp controls or div tags inside this ASP:GridView in my codebehind ascx file.

<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="siteMembersView" AllowPaging="True" 
            ShowHeader="False" EnableModelValidation="True" AutoGenerateColumns="false" CssClass="membership-gridview" Width="100%" CellPadding="0" CellSpacing="0">
        <Columns>
            <asp:TemplateField>
            <ItemTemplate>

             //content

            </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
        </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

I am trying to put Mydiv.Visible = false and LinkButton.Visible = False But it cant find the IDs. I am using runat="server". I think the problem is that its inside the GridView beacuse I tried to put it outside the GridView and it worked perfectly.

Any kind of help is appreciated

Use the FindControl method to access your controls, then you can apply the logic to toggle the visibility of each:

How to find control in TemplateField of GridView?

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    HtmlGenericControl myDiv;
    LinkButton myLinkButton;

    if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        myDiv = (HtmlGenericControl)e.Row.FindControl("myDiv") 
            as HtmlGenericControl;
        myDiv.Visible = false;

        myLinkButton = (LinkButton )e.Row.FindControl("myLinkButton") 
            as LinkButton;
        myLinkButton.Visible = false;
    }
}
