Handling dynamically created controls

[Guest]

I am dynamically generating a number of button controls based on the results returned from a search carried out on another machine. When one of these buttons is selected I want to be able to go through the same event handler for each button but I can't seem to get to happen unless I regenerate all my previously dynamically generated buttons every time the page is submitted.
Is this the only way to do this as the original search can take quite a while to carry out but it is the only way to get the information back in order to regenerate the buttons again (which will not be used again) and it might return quite a lot of results thus I don't think I want to be storing the search results in a session variable.
Basically all I need is for the selected button's values to be picked up without having to regenerate all my dynamically generated buttons again. Can anyone help?

The way ASP.NET works, controls have to be regenerated on every request.
Remember that the page is destroyed after each request.
