How to get an asp control id from c# code?

I have a asp control button that when I look at it in IE 9 developers tool I see it's id is ctl00_m_g_0e632166_55b3_4470_971c_bd562d4904c8_ctl00_Button2.

Is there a way I can access this id in the c# code? Something like Button2.getID?

Curently I am inserting javascript code that will need to find this control to do various things and the method I am using isn't good, it's basically checking if the suffix of all input id's is Button2. I want to find a better way...

Thanks

If your control is not in a repater or grid, and it is unique to the page, you can set ClientIDMode="Static" and it will be whatever ID you give it. Otherwise, you will have to use ClientID as others have pointed out.

Control.ClientID should get you the DOM element ID.

Button2.ClientID is what you're looking for i think.

docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.control.clientid.aspx

You can also control how this is set by setting the ClientIDMode
