How to track asp:button click with Google Tag Manager

Let's say I've got an asp:button on a website which I'm trying to track to count how many times it has been clicked by different users.

 <asp:Button ID="SubBtn" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" runat="server" Text="Sub" />

In my code behind I've got a redirect link to a different page.

I'm aware that I need to include something like

<a href="#" name="button1" onclick="dataLayer.push({'event': 'button1-click'});" >Button 1</a>

Do I need to convert my asp:button to a html button to make this work?

You need to use attribute "OnClientClick":

<asp:Button ID="SubBtn" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" runat="server" Text="Sub" OnClientClick="dataLayer.push({'event': 'button1-click'});" />

You can read more about this attribute on MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.button.onclientclick(v=vs.110).aspx
