Answer 1

You cannot access the x:Name property of a xaml element as this is just a hint for the compiler to name the variable.

What you can do however is to set the ClassId of your button so that you can retrieve it in the handler. Like this: Your xaml :

<Button ClassId="sdsd"
              Clicked="Button_OnClicked"/>

Your xaml.cs

private void LoginButton_OnClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var button = (Button) sender;
            var classId = button.ClassId;
        }

Answer 2

Maybe this can help you

if(sender is Button){

   Button button = (Button)sender;
   if(button.Equals(myButton1)){
      // You are in myButton1
   }else if(button.Equals(myButton2)){
   }
}

Answer 3

var btn = (Button)sender;

if(btn.Id == btn1.Id) {

}
else if(btn.Id == btn2.Id){
}
