How do I preserve a value entered in a TextBox inside a gridview's templatefield when the gridview gets databound again?

How do I preserve a value entered in a TextBox inside a gridview's templatefield when the gridview gets databound again?
Can anyone tell me why? And maybe help me in finding a solution?
for example i Click on A button and click event is Gridview1.DataBind() but we lose all values on TextBoxes.

    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" UpdateMode="Conditional" runat="server">
    <Triggers>
        <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="Button1" EventName="Click" />
    </Triggers>

    <ContentTemplate>
        <%--post GridView--%>
        <asp:GridView ID="posts" runat="server">
            <Columns>
                <asp:TemplateField>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <%--Comments Gridview--%>
                        <asp:GridView ID="comments" runat="server"></asp:GridView>
                        <%--a Textbox and bUtton For sending new Comment--%>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel> 


    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    posts.DataSource = GetData();
    posts.DataBind();
}

Edit1

let me explain more , when a user send a new comment, i will broadcast a message ( with signalr) to all other users to update their Gridviews ( when a client get broadcast message button1_Click, will be call by a jquery ). my problem is if other users are typing new comments on their textboxes will lose their typed comments.

To store array of strings in SessionState object and then read it back refer to the following sample code snippets:

string[] _arr = {"a", "b", "c" }; // sample array - replace by 15 entries pertinent to your case
Session["arrString"] = _arr ;

Read it back from SessionState as:

string[] arrFromSession = (string[])Session["arrString"];

Hope this will help. Rgds,
