UIAlertView is a subclass of UIView which has a tag property you can set to an integer. Unfortunately if you need something other than an integer to identify/pass info to the delegate than you will need to set some properties (or set up an array with the tag indexing into it) on the delegate itself. Advaith's way will probably work but is technically not supported by Apple.

    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" message:@"Are you sure?" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"OK",nil];        
    [alert setAlertViewStyle:UIAlertViewStyleDefault];  
    alert.tag = SOMEINTEGER;
    [alert show];
