Question

Answer 1

ViewState registration happens just after the Init events in the Page lifecycle.

If you are adding your dynamic images after Init, then they are not registered as part of ViewState. Your issue will be solved if you add them to your Placeholder control during Page_Init.

Answer 2

I think you need to add the controls in the Page_PreInt() event

Answer 3

You must add dynamic controls on every page load. Controls are not stored in ViewState, only control STATES and data for controls which do not post their data.
