Question

Is it possible (and if so, how can it be achieved?) to pass custom args or sender to a programmatically-defined button in WPF? Say I define a button in the code-behind and I want to specify a custom event args to the Click event of the button, or define a different sender (say, the container for this button), can it be done programmatically?

I would like to achieve something like this:

    ...
    var sender = this;
    var args = new CustomEventArgs(sectionName);

    var button = new Button();
    button.Click += Button_EventHandler_Click(sender, args);

Thanks in advance!

As far as i know you cannot do that as the Button is in charge of creating the event args. You might want to use commands which allow you to pass a CommandParameter which then is available in the Execute method (which is the counterpart of the click handler).
