Array of buttons

[saulij]

I have an array of buttons. There is a common Click-method for these
buttons.
How can I find what button is clicked?

In the event handler, first arg would be "object sender". you can
identify the sender through this argument. (I believe so)

I haven't tried this but it should work.

Private void Common_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button btn = (Button)sender;
switch (btn.Name)
{
case "btnButton1":
Do something for button1;
break;
case "btnButton2":
Do something for button2;
break;
etc ...
}
}

nice to see some code here. The same approach I was suggesting.

Saulij, Please let us know if it solves your issue.

Zack's suggestion should work fine (assuming you get the buttons names
correct, of course).

That said, the general approach suggests that the buttons shouldn't in
fact have a common handler. If there's some functionality that should be
shared among the buttons, but they otherwise have button-specific
behavior, then it would probably be better to create individual handlers
for each button, and a method shared among those handlers to deal with the
common functionality.

Also, you could set the Tag property for each button and use that to identify
them.
