Disappearing Controls

Can anyone tell me what the hell VS.NET's problem is that half the time it won't recognize controls if they are inside tables?
I have the following snippet in my .aspx page:
This account is currently on stop. Override or Delete?
Reason for deletion:
This fits with the codebehind declarations:
Protected WithEvents btnOverride As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
Protected WithEvents btnDelete As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
Protected WithEvents btnContinue As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
Protected WithEvents btnCancel As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
Protected WithEvents lblMessage As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label
Protected WithEvents txtReason As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
Protected WithEvents pnlStop As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel
Protected WithEvents pnlReason As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel
So how come when I try to set "pnlStop.Visible = True", it works fine, but when I set "pnlReason.Visible = True", I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"? What is the difference between the two?
