I think what may be happening is when you click the button to add, Page_Load fires which creates you a brand new page. Then, the button click method adds the control and the page finishes rendering. When you click it the second time, Page_Load creates your page and the button click method again creates a control and adds it to the page. Unfortunately, the one you added previously is no longer there.

What if you added the controls to a Repeater? The Repeater's view state may keep track of each control you add so that on post-back, it's not blown away.
