c# asp.net postback dynamically-generated

I am creating a button dynamically in my code and attaching a click event to it. However I have to prevent people to click it while there is a process going on. So when it is clicked once, it should be disabled and when the process ends it should be enabled. How can I do that?

Thanks.

onclick="this.enabled=false" add this from your code behind to your control

btnAdd.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.enabled=false;");
