Is there a way to determine which object has been tapped?

I have a grid that has 52 cells (4 rows, 13 columns). There is an image in each cell.

I would like to set the same tap event for each of the 52 images.

<Image x:Name="imgClub1"
Width ="28"
Source="Images\C1Clip.png"
Height="40"
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0" Stretch="None"
Margin="0,0,28,0"
Tag="C1Full"
Tap="cmdClub1_Tap"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2" VerticalAlignment="Top"
/>

<Image x:Name="imgClub2"
Width ="28" Source="Images\C2Clip.png"
Height="40"
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="1" Stretch="None"
Margin="0,0,0,0"
Tag="C2Full"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Tap="cmdClub1_Tap"
/>

void cmdClub1_Tap(object sender,
System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
// Place selected image into imgHole
{
//string strImageName = TappedImage.Tag.ToString();
How do I determine the name of the tapped image?

Is there a Selected property for images?

Thanks,

Is this a Windows Phone app? If not what platform.

I can not find a Tap, Tap="cmdClub1_Tap", in the documentation.

This is a Windows Phone 8 app running on Windows 8.0 Pro.

Tap="cmdClub1_Tap" declares the Tap event. This is like the OnClick property that can be set in asp.net.

Debugging allows me to step through the void cmdClub1_Tap(object sender,
System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
// Place selected image into imgHole
{

This would indicate that the Image source of the tapped image can be saved as an event property. I will try that.

Phone programming exposes a lot of properties and events. This is an exciting new platform for me after spending 10 years developing web sites.

Yes this works,

void cmdClub1_Tap(object sender,
System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)

// Place selected image into imgHole

var imgTapped = e.OriginalSource as Image; // The image that was tapped.

imgHole1.Source = imgTapped.Source; // Copies the tapped image

-----
All 52 images use the same event procedure, ( cmdClub1_Tap), To be renamed cmdClip_Tap.

This saves repeating a code block 51 times.

Glad to see that worked out for you. Have a great day.
