Label does not show up in asp.net - asp.net

Question

I have a label in asp.net page and change its text in certain situations. Here is the code:
<asp:Label ID="errorMessage" runat="server" Text="Label" Visible="False"></asp:Label>
errorMessage.Text = MyGlobals.student.registerCourse(c, ref addList, course).ToString();
errorMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
errorMessage.Visible = true;
When i debugged, i saw that MyGlobals.student.registerCourse(c, ref addList, course).ToString() method returns my error message well. Then i set the label visible, but when page loads i cannot see the label. Also, while debugging i saw that "textsetbyaddparsedsubobject" property of the label is false. Can that be the problem? Why is not the label being showed in my page? Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Edit: Here is the full code:

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#course", course);
int result = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
if (result > 0)

string message = MyGlobals.student.registerCourse(c, ref addList, course).ToString();
errorMessage.Text = message;
errorMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
errorMessage.Visible = true;
Label1.Visible = true;
Label1.Text = "asdasdasd";
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception) { }
for (int i = 0; i < showCourses.Rows.Count; i++)
{
string a = ((DropDownList)showCourses.Rows[i].FindControl("actionmenu")).SelectedValue;

}
foreach (string course in dropList)

}

}
try

string q = ("select CourseCode from CourseTable where CRN=#courses");

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#grade", grade);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
catch (Exception) { }
con.Close();
Response.Redirect("AddDropClasses.aspx");
}
}
And the registerCourse function:
public string registerCourse(Course course, ref List <string> addList, string crn) {
bool registered = true;
string message ="";
foreach (string s in course.getTime())
{
Userfunctions f = new Userfunctions();
foreach (Register r in this.register) {
if (r.getCourse().getTerm() == MyGlobals.currentTerm.ToString() + " " + MyGlobals.currentYear.ToString() && !f.TimeCheck(s, r.getCourse().getTime()))
{
registered = false;
message = "Time conflict";
}
}
}
if (registered) {
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection();
con.ConnectionString = Userfunctions.GetConnectionString();
con.Open();
string id = MyGlobals.currentID;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT count (*) from RegisterTable where CourseCode ='" + course.getCode() +"' and CourseNumber='" + course.getNumber() + "' and Term='" + course.getTerm()+"'" , con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#id", id);
int active = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
if (active >= Convert.ToInt32(course.getCapacity())){
registered = false;
message = "Not enough capacity";
}
if (registered) {
foreach (string s in course.getPrerequisites()) {
if (!hasPassedCourse(s)) {
registered = false;
message = "Prerequisite error";
}
}
}
}
if (registered)
{
Register reg = new Register(course, MyGlobals.student);
MyGlobals.student.addToSchedule(reg);
addList.Add(crn);
}
return message;
}

Answer 1

Remove below line
Response.Redirect("AddDropClasses.aspx");
it will load your page again as new page

Answer 2

When you have Visible="false" set on the control then the control properties may not been instatiated fully.
I would try hiding the control using, errorMessage.Visible=false in the code-behind in your Page_Load instead.
