Pass Variable to another function

[manmit.walia]

Hi,
I have a small question...Is there a way to do a postback to the same
page and pass a value to a function OnClick?

Example:

void GetCityName(string c)
{
string city = c;
}

Now I want to call this function by Doing a PostBack with a
asp:LinkButton.

So, here is the asp:LinkButton code.
<asp:LinkButton ID="mob" runat="server" Text="MOB"
OnClick="GetCityName('MOB')"></asp:LinkButton>

Can this be done?

Thanks

A Onclick serverside event must conform to the delegate signature of
the CommandEventHandler. You could store the value in a hidden html
input using javascript, then in your server event handler retrieve the
value by using Request.Form.GetValues.

Or store the value in a session variable.
i.e.
Session["city"] = city;

then have the event handler grab it
i.e.
city = (string)Session["city"];

I am total lost...
Does anyone have an example...

What I have is a map of Alabama. So now if I show Mobile, Montgomery on
the map...
and make each city as a LinkButton.

What I am doing is when the user clicks on (MOB) which is Mobile....I
have a query string that goes to a SQL Server and find data where the
city = 'mob'. I want to create a generic function that does this. So
everytime Ijust click a city all that I have to do is call the function
name and pass the city code.

Thanks
