HOw to find which event had occurred that caused a PostBack?

[JollyK]

Hi friends,
This is my question....

From the Page Load event (or Page Init event), I would need to find which
event had occurred that caused a PostBack, for example was it a event fired
from the datagrid that caused a postback, or was it from a linkbutton, or
was it from any other control on the page that have PostBack capabilities ?
I am pretty sure this information is captured somewhere before the event is
sent to its appropiate event-handler.

override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
/* What do I do Here to find the name of the event caused the post back?
*/
}


I have searched online and found 2 links that are exactly related to my
question that remained unsolved.. The details of these links are over here.

Can you guys give me a sample code of how this can be achieved.

Thanks alot.

Examining Page.Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"] in the
Page_Load event will give the ID of the control that
caused the postback (with the exception of command
buttons). Does this answer your question?
