Hiding an AccordianPane

Korvanica

Right so im using an Ajax Accordian to show users different control panels and information.

My question is how do I hide one of the panes from certain users...

Code:

<cc1:Accordion  ID="leftNavAccordion" 
                                            runat="server" 
                                            HeaderCssClass="accordianHeader"
                                            ContentCssClass="accordianContent" 
                                            CssClass="NavAccordian" 
                                            FadeTransitions="true"
                                            Width="210px">
                                <Panes>
                                    
                                    <cc1:AccordionPane ID="CorrectionsPane" runat="server">
                                        <Header>
                                            <% Response.Write(XBrowser.ValidateImage("<img alt=\"\" src=\"../Images/Panels/corrections.png\" />", 24, 24));%>
                                            <asp:Literal ID="litCorrections" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:LocalizedText, CC_Corrections%>" />
                                        </Header>
                                        <Content>
                                            <asp:PlaceHolder ID="topLeftModule" runat="server" />
                                            <uc2:MiniCorrectionsModule ID="MiniCorrectionsModule1" runat="server" />
                                        </Content>
                                    </cc1:AccordionPane>
                                    
                                    <cc1:AccordionPane ID="MessagingPane" runat="server">
                                        <Header>
                                            <% Response.Write(XBrowser.ValidateImage("<img alt=\"\" src=\"../Images/Panels/mail.png\" />", 24, 24));%>
                                            <asp:Literal ID="litMessaging" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:LocalizedText, CO_Messaging%>" />
                                        </Header>
                                        <Content>
                                            <ucMail:MiniMailModule ID="MiniMailModule1" runat="server" />
                                        </Content>
                                    </cc1:AccordionPane>
                                    
                                    
                                </Panes>
                            </cc1:Accordion>

Right so I want to hide the "MessagingPane" pane.

My first thoughts were to add in a visible attribute and have the attribute populated by a variable thats set in the .cs file.

<cc1:AccordionPane ID="MessagingPane" runat="server" visible="<%= messageVisibleBool%>">

this doesn't work and gives the error:

Cannot create an object of type 'System.Boolean' from its string representation '<%= messageBool%>' for the 'Visible' property.

Ive tried many other variations also and none work,

<cc1:AccordionPane ID="MessagingPane" runat="server" visible="<%[B]#[/B] [B]messageVisibleBool[/B]%>">

<cc1:AccordionPane ID="MessagingPane" runat="server" visible="<%[B]=[/B] [B]messageVisibleString[/B]%>">

<cc1:AccordionPane ID="MessagingPane" runat="server" visible="<%[B]#[/B] [B]messageVisibleString[/B]%>">

anyone have any ideas? Or perhaps an alternate way of doing this?

Thanks!

Any reason you can't do

MessagingPane.Visible = boolVariable;

in the cs class?
