How can I tell what button was clicked from within Page_Load

Christian Blackburn

Hi Gang,

I have a dillema I need to know what button was clicked while I'm still
in the Page_Load event. Surely there must be a class that reveals
this?

Thanks,
Christian Blackburn

In my experience, needing to know which control initiated the postback from
within one of the Page_xxx events is *almost* always symptomatic of a poorly
designed page or, at the very least, a lack of understanding of the event
hierarchy...

Mark,
You are 100% correct. If Mr. Blackburn's buttons are evented properly he
should simply see that the buttonX_Click event is fired on a postback and
that his code inside the handler is run. However, it can still be useful for
developers to understand how the mechanism works.
