Hi Hari,
The problem you described is a common problem in creating controls
dynamically. Here are a few guides that might help you correct the problem:
1) Dynamically created controls should be created during or prior to the
Page Initialization phase to maintain their ViewState upon postback. The
following links give more in depth information about the control’s lifecycle.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconcontrolexecutionlifecycle.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/viewstate.asp
2) In the case where you have to load the control late within the page
lifecycle (e.g., while responding to another server control event) then save
in the Session a variable (or a simple class with few attributes) that allows
you to recreate the dynamic control within the Init event handling upon
postback.
I have a demo to demonstrate the concept on this link:
