finding which button is pressed

[Jonathan Crawford]

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

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...
