Page_Load i need to see which event fired the post back

[=?Utf-8?B?V2ViQnVpbGRlcjQ1MQ==?=]

In the page_load event i need to see which event fired the post back. what
here allows this. I specificly want to know if the enter key was pressed. but
i need to check for others.

(i''ll be asking a lot of these, but I find C# totally way cooler than vb
and there''s no go''n back!!!)
thanks (as always)

Generally speaking, this isn't the way ASP.NET works. E.g. when you click a
Button control, it initiates a postback and its Click or Command event
runs - you don't need to know in the Page_Load which object initiated the
postback... You don't need to know which control initiated the postback
because, whatever control it was, that's the event which will fire.

However, it's fairly simple to find out this information:

Why do you need to know this in Page_Load...?

Re: Page_Load i need to see which event fired the post back

in Safari the default event for the panel does not fire. so on a login it
works when you press enter for ie, firefox, but not safari.

i'm using the text changed event on the password field, but this is still a
poor solution.

In my case i need to know if events were not fired so i can call login.

Ah - that's a totally different question. Loads of stuff about Safari and
the Enter key on the net:
