Hi,

I have added dynamically 5 buttons to the panel.

How do i know which button clicked....suppose i click on add3 button how do
i trap that event....

The code is below:

// numShift is dynamic(range 3-12)
int numShift = 5;
for (int i=1; i<=numShift; i++)
{

Button buttonAdd = new Button();

buttonAdd.Text = "Add";

buttonAdd.ID = "ShiftAddButton" + i.ToString();

Panel1.Controls.Add(buttonAdd);

Panel1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<br>"));

}

Your help is much appreciated.

Rgds,
Surjit

buttonAdd.Click += new EventHandler(Button_Click);

private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button sendingButton = (Button) sender;
// sendingButton.ID is the ID, in case you need that
}

The code John suggested is ok since it connects an event with a handler,
but:

- since you are adding your controls dynamicly, make shure you recreate them
on the postback as late as in page Load event or your event won't fire.

- maybe you should consider using Command event instead of Click. Button
class has a property CommandArgument, which you can use for very varius
things. Maybe something should be written to the user when he clicks a
button. You could put there the string, so your handler would be VERY
simple. Or maybe it does something else and you could put in something you
could use without checking which button was clicked as Jon suggested. You
don't mind that, you just use CommandArgument and do the apropriate thing.
There's also a CommandName property if one string is not enough for the job.
