How do I pass a string to an click event in ASP.Net on a LinkButton click? C#

Question

I have a string in my main body that takes from an array. I want to pass that to the click event on a linkbutton. Is there any way to do this? Any help much appreciated. Example code below:

(main body)

string myLabelsName = column.ToString();

LinkButton myButton = new LinkButton();
myButton.Text = ("THIS IS MY BUTTON");
myButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(myButton_Click);

(event)

protected void myButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        I WANT THE STRING 'myLabelsName' Here <<
        Response.Redirect(myLabelsName + ".aspx");
    }

You can use fields/properties or more appropriate here: the LinkButton's CommandName property.

string myLabelsName = column.ToString();
LinkButton myButton = new LinkButton();
myButton.Text = "THIS IS MY BUTTON";
myButton.CommandName = myLabelsName;
myButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(myButton_Click);

// ...

protected void myButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    LinkButton btn = (LinkButton) sender;
    string myLabelsName = btn.CommandName;
    Response.Redirect(myLabelsName + ".aspx");
}

By the way, you're using a LinkButton, why don't you use it's PostBackUrl property directly?
