How do I work out which trigger triggered my update panel?

I have an update panel and a list of buttons that trigger it. I need some way to find out which button was pressed when the load method (which is caused by the triggers) goes off, but I can't figure it out. Sender doesn't cast into the trigger, but the update panel itself.

I need to perform some action based on which button was pressed.

Any advice?

I'm using ASP.NET / C#

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional" OnLoad="LocationList_Load">

<Triggers>
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnLocMiddleEast" />
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnLocUSA" />
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnLocNewZealand" />
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnLocAustralia" />
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnLocEurope" />
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnLocRepublicOfIreland" />
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnLocNorthernIreland" />
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnLocWales" />
    <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnLocScotland" />

Check the answer I gave to this question:

Making a difference between AsyncPostbacks in nested update panels

Basically you should check the ScriptManager.AsyncPostBackSourceElementID for the trigger.

Normally I would just create an individual Click event handler for each button, and then write the specific code that should be triggered in each event handler.

If you're debugging, you can check the stack trace.
