Question

I have one static, and one dynamic set of buttons in two stack panels. I want to get the name of the stack panel of the button clicked. I don’t want the type, I want the specific name. Is there a way to do that in C#??

Answer 1

Try this:

private ButtonClick(object sender)
{
    string parent_name = ((Button)sender).Parent.Name;
}

or for WPF:

private ButtonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    FrameworkElement parent=(FrameworkElement)((Button)sender).Parent;
    string parent_name = parent.Name;            
}
