Just cast it, no need to use reflection in this case. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of David Loo [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 30, 2012 1:57 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: RE: WinForms - button text from sender object
You can try using reflection below you can access the property “Text” from a
control and extract the value.
var type = sender.GetType();
PropertyInfo pInfo = type.GetProperty("Text");
string value = pInfo.GetValue(sender, null).ToString();
MessageBox.Show(value);

Subject: WinForms - button text from sender object
Hello folks
I’ve forgotten how to get the text from a button click that handles multiple
buttons –
Private Sub Buttons_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click, Button3.Click, Button4.Click
(VB.NET above)
sender.ToString gives me the whole object description with its .Text property,
but what’s the simple expression to get just that text?
System.Windows.Forms.Button, Text: MyButtonText
