Visual Basic [VB] >> How to get control identification from (Sender as Object) You can use TypeOf and CType.

If TypeOf sender Is Label Then
Dim lbl As Label = CType(sender, Label)
Select Case lbl.Name
Case Is = "lblID"
' do something
Case Is = "lblExpense"
' do something
End Select
ElseIf TypeOf sender Is TextBox Then
Dim txt As TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
' do something
End If

In addition to Jared,

Keep in mind that you do not have to know the type when the member is
inheritted from control.

They have by instance all name, text, click etc.
