I have a page where I write a contol for each value passed from a DataSet. I don't know how many controls will be generated (>=1), but they will all be an instance of the same control. I would like to execute a method in each control when a button event is triggered at the page level. I don't want to do it on any of the pre-existing page events like Load, and I'd like to avoid having to be stuck with a single name for the button event. Is this possible?

use the sender object........and then cast it as the control u have originally placed in the databound control.

say u hv used LinkButton

LinkButton lb= ((LinkButton)sender);

now lb will have the xact same properties of linkbtton that called the procedure
