If you wanted to be super lazy you could just wrap the either of them in a span with a given class and then add some css to the page head (assuming it runs at server) that has display:none; visiblity: hidden; for the class that shouldn't show

HTML:

<li>
  <span class="one">
    <asp:LinkButton ID="btnUpload" runat="server" OnPreRender="btn_PreRender" CommandName="Uploader" TabIndex="2">Upload</asp:LinkButton>
  or <a target="_blank" href="../PersonalInfo/MailingAddress.htm">Mail</a> the form.
  </span>
  <span class="two">
    <asp:LinkButton ID="hplnkViewDocument" runat="server" Text="View Document" SkinID="lnkBtnBlue"></asp:LinkButton>
  </span>
</li>

Make sure to add either: 

.one {display:none; visiblity: hidden;}

...or

.two {display:none; visiblity: hidden;}

...based on your runtime needs

I believe you can put a pannel or some server side control that works as a container. Then you can add or remove from their controls collection whatever controls you like.

Lets say a pannel that you want to add a button to, just to give you an idea:

Button button = new Button ();
//Set properties accordingly
Pannel1.Controls.Add(button);

Also, Controls is a property of Control, so you will find it in any class that inherits Control. Even the page inherits from a class that inherits from control.

You can also use

 Page.Controls.Remove(btnUpload);

and then create the hplnkViewDocument as new LinkButton control

  Page.Controls.Add(hplnkViewDocument);

You have to read about "Page.FindControl Method (String)".

There is some sample as well.

I would have both controls in the li, then only show/hide the one you want, using the Visible property.
