Get the text value of the button that was clicked

Question

I am trying to get the text value from a button that was clicked. In my head, it looks something like this:

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string s =  thisbutton.text
}

Answer 1

The object which fired the event is sender, so:

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string s = (sender as Button).Text;
}

Answer 2

Just cast the sender Object to a Button Object and access the text attribute :

protected void btn_Click (object sender, EventArgs e){
   Button btn = sender as Button;
   string s= btn.Text
}
