In an ASP.NET app, when you click the button, the web form's Page_Load() fires first, and since you have clicked the button, IsPostBack is true, and your foreach loop executes. Next, your btnMoveToNewYear_Click() method fires and the code overwrites the EntityList you created in the page load.

Are you using the MM .NET data binding properties?
