Try this code.....
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
static int x = 0;
protected int NumberOfControls
{
get { return (int)ViewState["NumControls"]; }
set { ViewState["NumControls"] = value; }
}

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
//Initiate the counter of dynamically added controls

this.NumberOfControls = 0;
else
//Controls must be repeatedly be created on postback

this.createControls();
}

// This routine creates the controls and assigns a generic ID

private void createControls()
{
int count = this.NumberOfControls;

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
TextBox tx = new TextBox();
tx.ID = "ControlID_" + i.ToString();
//Add the Controls to the container of your choice
tx.Style.Add("position", "Relative");
tx.Style.Add("runat", "server");
tx.Style.Add("left", "" + (i+1)* 50 + "px");
tx.Style.Add("top", "" + (i + 1) * 50 +"px");
Page.Form.Controls.Add(tx);
}
}

// example of dynamic addition of controls

// note the use of the ViewState variable

private void addSomeControl()
{
TextBox tx = new TextBox();
tx.ID = "ControlID_" + NumberOfControls.ToString();
tx.Style.Add("position", "Relative");
tx.Style.Add("runat", "server");
tx.Style.Add("left", "" + x + "px");
tx.Style.Add("top", "" + x + "px");
Page.Form.Controls.Add(tx);
this.NumberOfControls++;
}

protected void btnLoad_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
x = x + 50;
TextBox tx = new TextBox();
tx.ID = "ControlID_" + NumberOfControls.ToString();
tx.Style.Add("position", "Relative");
tx.Style.Add("runat", "server");
tx.Style.Add("left", "" + x + "px");
tx.Style.Add("top", "" + x + "px");
Page.Form.Controls.Add(tx);
