Dynamic Button - Who am I? 1

[faithful1]

Hello...I have created some dynamic buttons and a click event, however, I am having problems distinguishing which button was clicked. How can I display the name of the button that was clicked?

Here is my sample code of the button created and the addhandler event.
Thank you in advance!!!!!!

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim i As Integer
Dim pageNumber As New Button()
Session("recordsPerPage&quot = 10
Session("totalPages&quot = Int(Session("totalrecords&quot / Session("recordsPerPage&quot)
If (Session("totalrecords&quot Mod Session("recordsPerPage&quot) > 0 Then
Session("totalPages&quot = Session("totalPages&quot + 1
End If

For i = 1 To Session("totalPages&quot
pageNumber = New Button()
pageNumber.Text = i
pageNumber.ID = "page" + i.ToString
AddHandler pageNumber.Click, AddressOf PageNumber_OnClick
pagesPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(pageNumber)
Response.Write("  &quot
Next
End Sub

Private Sub PageNumber_OnClick(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Response.Write("This is the click event&quot

End Sub

***I need to use the id of the item clicked to run a query, so I need to find out how to tell which button was clicked.

Hi Faithful1,

In your PageNumber_OnClick routine you could use something like:

'This would give you the Button's name.
Dim sButtonName As String = CType(sender, Button).Name

'Or maybe this, which would give the numerical value of the Button's Tag property.
Dim sTag As Int32 = CInt(CType(sender, Button).Tag)

Obviously mess around with the code to suit your needs.

There's a thin line between genius, and insanity!
