This sounds like the age-old classic problem with asp.net adding controls dynamically to a page.

The problem is to with viewstate and reconstruction of the controls on postback.

You need to run the same code that generated the controls on postback at the correct time in the page lifecycle to ensure postback values match server-side controls.

Of course if you want a hacky shortcut, access the Request.Form["textCheckbox" + index] values directly
