Question

How do I set a string type or int type to a button in a metro app?

I have tried the below code,

<Button Name="oldlogs" Tag="old" 
        Content="New Logs" HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
        Margin="819,660,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" 
        Click="showNewLogs"/>

but when I check

if (oldlogs.Tag == "old") {
                addedVal++;
                flag = 1;
                showLog(sender, e);
            }

The control doesnt enter the if loop! Kindly help through.

Tag stores an object.

You need to cast it to string and then compare it with “old” literal.
