Can you post your code?

I guess you would have missed out "If Not IsPostBack" logic in your Page_Load event. ie., write your query and populate the dataset or whatever within "If Not IsPostBack"

Please post your code.

However, It seems that you are querying the DB in the page load and is running every time the button is clicked. You need to check for post back by using IsPostBack.

Page_Load event:

If NOT IsPostBack Then
   ...Retrived rows here.
End If
