asp.net How to get the id of the button user clicked - asp.net

I have a small problem. I am developing an online seat reservation system which allow users to click and select seats. I am using buttons for seats. I am writing a method for the button click event for all buttons. I need to know how to identify the id of the button, user clicked. thanks in advance.

When you use a button clicked event, the signature of the method that'll handle the event goes like this:
protected void foo (object sender, EventArgs e)
sender in this case is the button that was clicked. Just cast it to Button again and there you have it. Like this:
Button button = (Button)sender;
string buttonId = button.ID;
You can have all your buttons pointing their Click event to the same method like this.

The first parameter of your event handler (object source or sometimes object sender) is a reference to the button that was clicked. All you need to do is cast it and then you can retrieve the id value, e.g.:
void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button button = sender as Button;
if (button != null)
{
//get the id here
}
}

I think there's another way to do this method you may not thought of it,
why don't you put an
Image control
you only need switch the image's color for this method, the first one we assume that it's Red and it means free seat, and the second one is Blue and means taken .
here is a link you may need to know about this issue How to change color of Image at runtime
Hope I could gave you a better idea. thank you

I know this is an old thread but hopefully it helps someone out there having the same trouble I was here in 2019! This is my solution using the Tag property of the button with Binding through XAML. Worked great for me, even though it might be a little hacky:
In your button click event:
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Button EditButton = (Button)e.Source;
int id = Convert.ToInt32(EditButton.Tag);
//do your stuff
}
In your XAML:
<Button Click="Button_Click" Content="Edit" Tag="{Binding whateverInt}" />

asp.net - RadioButton "CheckedChanged" event does not work when it is unchecked

I have two RadioButtons on my Web Form and here is the code:
protected void RadioButton1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void RadioButton2_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString());
}
When I check RadioButton2, time appears on the page but when I check RadioButton1(RadioButton2 is unchecked now) it does not update the shown time and removes it.
the event function must be called when it checks and unchecks.I don't understand what is wrong here and why the time disappears
(As it is obvious, I know about GroupName property and AutoPostBack. My problem is something else)
You can check property of each control and check AutoPostBack=True
and also if checked="true"
I tried it on different ways and opened my pages with different browsers and I figured out a few things. the most important of them which is related to my problem:
When a control Calls back, the page refreshes and that is why the time disappears. It sends the status of all controls using post method to itself and they would be the same way as they were. But the time is not written on a control and it would not be saved.
As I said if it was for example on a Label, the text would be kept:
Label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
It answers the first question but I still think that the event function must be called when the RadioButton is being unchecked.

asp.net dynamic user control button click issue

I made researching about this subject I could not find proper answer.
In my default.aspx page, I have a treeview. Codes are in default.aspx like below:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void TreeView1_SelectedNodeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Control ucont;
if (TreeView1.SelectedNode.Value == "Yeni Dönem")
{
ucont = LoadControl("usercontrols/yenidonem.ascx");
PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(ucont);
}
else
{
ucont = LoadControl("usercontrols/tabloktar.ascx");
PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(ucont);
}
}
I load user controls dnynmicaly. User controls are have button control. I can not fire user control's button click when I load it dynamcally. How can I solve this ?
Thanks.
First of all, I would not recommend adding control dynamically later than in Page_Load event. Other things to remember is that You should add it on each page load and assign unique ID value the control that does not change between postbacks.
In this case, the easiest way would be to always add both controls to the page and show appropriate one using Visibility property.
If that's not suitable for You, try to move the code from TreeView1_SelectedNodeChanged to the Page_Load event and load appropriate control on each postback until it should be changed to another one.
I haven't tested this, so if You have any issues when using thise answer, let me know in the comments and I'll try to help.

How to change web browser control visiliblity from collapsed to visible on a button click

When WPF application runs for first time.. web browser control is set to visiblity="Collapsed" . Want to change it to visible on a button click.
Thanks
myWebBrowser.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
Here are the steps. But as said before, you may want to look up the basic concepts:
Attach an event handler to the button's click event, probably something like
button1.Click += button1_Click_Handler;
Then somewhere declare the method and change the visibility:
void button1_Click_Handler(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
wb1.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}

asp.net: How to get a button to affect the page contents

In Page_Load I populate an asp:Table with a grid of images. I have a button that when pressed I would like it to repopulate the page with different images.
However it appears that when the button is pressed Page_Load is called again, followed by the script specified by the button. I thought that I could simply set a variable in the button script which is checked during Page_Load, but this will not work.
What is the most asp.netish way to approach this? Should I be populating my table somewhere other than in Page_Load, or should my button be doing something different?
Your button event gets called after page load. As such, you should put your button code in there.
I'm not terribly sure why you'd try to stuff all of your event code into Page_Load, but it's best to keep it separated.
GOOD
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MethodThatDynamicallyCreatesControls();
}
protected void MyImage_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyImage.Property = newValue;
MyImage2.Property = newValue2;
PopulateTables(newValues);
}
BAD
protected void PageLoad(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsPostBack)
{
//Check to see if "MyButton" is in the Request
// if it is, it's the button that was clicked
if (Request["MyButton"])
{
MyImage.Property = newValue;
MyImage2.Property = newValue;
PopulateTables(newValues);
}
}
}
As rick said, it's all a matter of understanding the postback.
page_load gets fired every time the page is refreshed. however in many cases, you only want certain things to happen on the first time a page is loaded. in your case, you want the default images to load. by putting all 'one time' events for a page load in a
if (!Page.IsPostback )
{
}
it will only fire on the first time the page is loaded. this is what you want to load your first set of images.
Then in your button click event (which triggers a postback), the code within the if statement will not execute again. and you can load your second set of images in your button's event handler.
That button you're using should call a method in your code behind,so you can know that the button is was clicked, ex:
protected void Important_ButtonClicked(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//do what I want to do
}
<asp:Button id="Button1"
Text="MakeChanges"
OnClick="Important_ButtonClicked"
runat="server"/>
Actually I understand what your problem is now, seems like you just have values being set in your page load with no condition check in you page load, so every time you have a postback it refreshes the page to original state, the reason for that is because everytime you trigger a refresh(postback) on the page, the pageload method is invoked, so you need to set original setting in your page load,but have them in the condition, as
if(!Page.Postback) which gets triggered the first time you visit this page. Which means this is where your defaults go and if(Page.Postback) is where your always true things should go. ex:
protected void Page_Load()
{
// this is where I want things to always happen whenever the page is loaded
//for example, no matter what happens I want a certain image in the background
if(!Page.Postback)
{
//set my values for the first and only time
}
else //hint Page.Postback
{
//you can play with the page here to make necessary changes
//but Button click method will still be invoke so thats where button click
//changes should be made
}
}
A PostBack happend when the page is reload. The first page load, Page.IsPostBack has value false. When an event happend, Page.IsPostBack has value true.
So doing the thing like this will definitely works
void Page_Load()
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
//do your first time binding data
}
How to: Create Event Handlers in ASP.NET Web Pages
EDIT:
Your state change events are not going to fire correctly if you re-bind controls(ie:DropDownList) data on every postback.
void Page_Load()
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
//load your data
}
}
