Can you put the code snippets related to the above question ?

Why? If you want to use the name in program logic, it would be a really big abuse.

I think you need to re-write your question. The user's interaction with Controls, or programming logic, "fires events."

My guess is that you are describing a scenario where several Controls all use the same EventHandler for some user-action, like 'Click, and that what you want to know is which Control raised the Click Event: that's easily done.

Please clarify.

Before SelectedIndexChanged event, it goes to Page_Load event. You can try getting the information inside that event. Below are some articles about this idea.

1. Identify during Page.Load if Button click event is going to be handled[^]
2. Get control name in Page_Load event which make the post back[^]
