Which button was pressed ?

James McGivney

I have a project in VS.NET using C#
I have a series of buttons on an aspx page. When one of the buttons is pressed, a panel becomes visible and allows the user to enter and edit data. I want to use this data to modify the text of the button
I am thinking of storing a unique identifier in View State when the button is pressed. After the user enters or edits the data, I plan use a Switch structure indexed from the number stored in View State to be able to identify the previously pressed button so that I can then change the text of the button
Is there an easier way to accomplish this task
Sample code would be appreciated
Thanks for your help
Jim

Hi Jim,

You can get the information from the "sender" parameter of the Click event.
For example:

Panel1.Text=((S ystem.Web.UI.We bControls.Butto n)sender).ID.To String();

Does this help? Feel free to let me know if I misunderstood your questions.

Thanks,

Felix Wu
