Board index » Web Programming » finding which button is pressed

Web Programming15
Hi



I have a form with two butons



I know if the form is a postback but I can't

find anyway to tell which button was clicked,

on the form load event.



I have a feeling that this is obvious.



Any guidance appreciated



thanks



jc

Earliest solution i can suggest is to query Request.Form("Button")

JC,



Are you using asp.net 1.1 or 2.0? And are these buttons regular html buttons

or buttons set with runat="server"?

Jonathan,



I just wanted to double check. In that case this will work:



'---Check if the sender is a button



If sender.GetType Is GetType(Button) Then



'---If it is a button check which one



Dim ButtonSent As Button = CType(sender, Button)



Dim ButtonName As String = ButtonSent.ID



End If

You can always just compare the reference of "sender" with that of your

Button variables (assuming you have declared protected class-level

Button variables having the same names as the IDs of your Buttons):



[in C# - sorry, I'm not familiar enough with VB.NET to be 100% sure

about the code]



protected Button btnButton1;

protected Button btnButton2;

...

private void Button_ClickHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if(sender == this.btnButton1)

{

...

}

else if(sender == this.btnButton2)

{

...

}

}



(I believe in VB.NET, the conditional would be

If sender = Me.btnButton2 Then ...

)



Hope this helps...



Luke
