parameters with events

[Filip De Backer]

Hi everybody,

I've got a Button on a webform and I want an onClick event.
So normally this will be something like :
/// protected void onClickEvent(Object sender, EventArgs e)

But I want to pass an extra parameter when I click on the button.
How Can I do that?

In javascript, it's easy to create your own onclick functions because you
don't need the sender en eventargs objects.

thanks

By LinkButton you can set two properties:

string LinkButton.CommandName
string LinkButton.CommandArgument

protected void onClickEvent(Object sender, EventArgs e)

{
LinkButton linkButton=(LinkButton)sender;
if (linkButton.CommandName=="...." && linkButton.CommandArgument=="...")
....
}

Hi,

Do not use OnClick, use OnCommand and use CommandArgument to set the
parameter that you need.

Hi,

I use this approach a lot with a list control, in this way you can set the
argument using databinding and you don ;t have to take care in the code
behind searching for the control that fired the event.

You use onclick when you don;t need extra info for the event, otherwise I
would use oncommand.

cheers,

Great idea as long as the argument is static or the button property
"CommandArgument" can be changed dynamically as needed. There's always many ways to implement something. He could also create his own button type by
inheritance and write his own event and eventargs. Probably depends on his
programming style, possible re-use, and what the parameter actually is for. Besides OnCommand being a bit "cleaner" is there a reason to not use OnClick?
Peace!
