Hola all, 

I have two buttons that are going to be using identical functions unless I
can get the name ot ID or even text from the button from Object sender or
System.EventArgs e.

Any help?

TIA

Tia,

Here's an excerpt that may assist you:

Using Command events rather than Click events affords the developer the
opportunity to pass additional information via the control's CommandName
and CommandArgument properties. The following example assigns the
command name "Sort" and the command argument "Asc" to a Button control
and toggles the command argument between "Asc" and "Desc" to perform
alternating ascending and descending sorts:

<asp:Button Text=3D"Sort" ID=3D"SortButton" OnCommand=3D"OnSort"
  CommandName=3D"Sort" CommandArgument=3D"Asc" RunAt=3D"server" />
    .
    .
    .
<script language=3D"C#" runat=3D"server">
  void OnSort (Object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
  {
      if (e.CommandName =3D=3D "Sort" &&
          e.CommandArgument.ToString () =3D=3D "Asc") {
          // TODO: Perform ascending sort
          SortButton.CommandArgument =3D "Desc";
      }
      else if (e.CommandName =3D=3D "Sort" &&
          e.CommandArgument.ToString () =3D=3D "Desc") {
          // TODO: Perform descending sort
          SortButton.CommandArgument =3D "Asc";
      }
  }
</script>
Command events are useful for "overloading" button controls and having
them perform different actions based on the value of CommandArgument.
They can also be used to connect multiple buttons to a single handler
and have the handler respond differently depending on which button was
clicked.


Hope it helps
Pete
