ASP.NET Table control - save button postback loses all my rows and cells - asp.net

Question

I have a ASP.NET Table control which I have dragged to my page. I have to create the rows and columns dynamically which I have also done. Some of the cells in my table are textboxes. I want to be able to modify the textbox values and save the changes. I have added a button within the same panel as the table but when I try to loop through the tables rows I get zero.
Why is the table not remembering my rows and cells? As I have already loaded the data once I don't want to rebuild the table each time a button is pressed. I think by creating the table each time in Page_Load I'd be going back and forth to the database server. I really want to avoid this.

You can store your dynamically created table in view that you can fetch after rendering.
SqlConnection con =new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["dbstring"].ConnectionString);
private int ctrName = 0;
Table tableName = null;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
tableName = new Table();
tableName.ID = "tableName";
Session["tableName"] = tableName;
ViewState["ctrName"] = ctrName;
}
ctrName = (Int32)ViewState["ctrName"];
tableName = (Table)Session["tableName"];
pnlName.Controls.Add(tableName);
}
private void GenerateName()
{
ctrName++;
TableRow row = new TableRow();
TableCell cell = new TableCell();
TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.ID = "Txt_Name" + ctrName;
tb.Width = 150;
cell.Controls.Add(tb);
row.Cells.Add(cell);
tableName.Rows.Add(row);
Session["tableName"] = tableName;
ViewState["ctrName"] = ctrName;
}
For Access the table details:
tableName = (Table)Session["tableName"];
