if you mean eventhandler parameter then
object sender;

Button button = sender as Button;
if ( button != null )
{
//access properties of the button
}

Button b = (Button) sender ;

else if( sender is SomethingElse )
{
SomethingElse se = (SomethingElse) sender ;
}

This cast can introduce InvalidCastException if sender is of other type

Thank you for your correction.

Could you please, bring me more explanation :

The InvalidCastException should only occurs later in the explicits cast "Obj o2
= (Type) o1".
And it is protected by the "if( obj is Type)".

Isn't it ?

Yes, I agree with you. Somehow I've missed _is_ statement :8-)

Ouf! My code is not so bad ;o)

By the way ... I like the "if/else" cascading like that I can handle differents
senders with the same method.

What they are saying is to code it like this:

if( sender is Button )
{
Button b = (Button) sender ;
b.Text = "I have been clicked!";
}
This IF statement will only be entered into if the sender really is a
button, and not something else.
(Because sender is passed as type 'object' so it really could be
anything)
