The design page only shows controls that are visible on page load. Since you have set your control to be invisible, it will not appear on the design page. This is also true if you have controls in a that you have hidden. I don't know of anyway to turn off styles on the design page, but since the page is rendered from the in the codeing page, turning off that styles would most likely leave you with nothing.

If you absolutely must see the button on the design page, i suggest leaving out the hidden snippet while designing and putting it back in when testing the page etc. If you absolutely MUST show it on the design without changing the code, then set the property so it is visible, and go to the form_load code behind page where you can set that control to hidden there. Then your design page will show the button, but when the page loads it hides again. This is most likely a poor technique and definitely won't win any "best practice" awards though.

Sorry for the super late reply, but better late than never i guess.
