          if (HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Administrator") || HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Moderator"))
        {
            Button button = (Button)LoginView1.FindControl("DeleteThread");

from here

For the LoginView control, when being
added onto a page, at a certain time,
only one Template (anonymous or
loggedIn ) is applied on the Control
instance, so at that time, we can only
retrieve the reference of those
controls in the active template( can’t
access those in the non-active
template). So you can first determine
whether the user has been
authenticated or not and then use the
LoginView.FindControl( stringId)
together with the sub control’s ID to
retrieve the control reference.
