In WPF can I attach the same click handler to multiple buttons at once like I can in Javascript/Jquery?

Question

I have multiple buttons instead of doing

this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button_Click);
this.button2.Click += new System.EventHandler(this         


        

Answer 1

Instead of making button1, button2 etc, make a List of buttons.

Then you can write:

myList.ForEach( b => b.Click += button_Click );

From XAML you can attach the click handler to the parent of the buttons something like this (I use a StackPanel as an example):

  First button
  Second button
  Third button

This works because the buttons Click event is a bubbling routed event.
