count button clicks for dynamic generated button

What is a simple way to count in C# how many times an asp net button has been clicked in the same page e.g page1.aspx? The counter should be valid per user and reset when I go to page2.aspx, then return back to page1.aspx. the counter should persist in case of reloading the same page. the button is created dynamically in Page Init Button x = new Button(); I cannot use javascript. thanks

The better way to use session, it enables you to store and retrieve values for a user as the user navigates ASP.NET pages in a Web application. So that you can access the value even when you returning from page2.aspx. the code for this will be 

protected void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if(Session["ClickCount"]!=null)
       Session["ClickCount"]=(int)Session["ClickCount"]++;
   else
       Session["ClickCount"]=0;
}

If you want to reset it when you leave the page means you can use:

 if(Session["ClickCount"]!=null)
       Session["ClickCount"]=0;
 // Redirect to page

Create a class for maintain hit counters

public static class Counter
{
       private static long hit;

       public static void HitCounter()
       {
          hit++;
       }

       public static long GetCounter()
       {
          return hit;
       }
}

Increment the value of counter at page load event

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Counter.HitCounter(); // call static function of static class Counter to      increment the counter value
}

the time you redirect the user you can make count as null
