get generated id of a control?

[soni2926]

hi,
in .net when i have a hyperlink control in a datagrid, i set it's ID
on the page to Hyperlink1. but when i check it's ID when viewing the
source of the web page i get this:
dg_ctl02_Hyperlink1
isn't there someway to know what .net generated before the ID i put in
the code, i mean this part:
dg_ctl02_

Well, if you do like most people, you simply add the dg_ctl02_ in a hard
coded manner. ;-)

Mark has already answered the correct way. While you are still server side,
pull the ClientID.
