    b2.Background = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Pink;
    b2.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(b2_Click);
    btncanvas.Children.Add(b2);

    i = i + 1;
    MessageBox.Show(rr[0].ToString());
    b2.Tag = rr[0].ToString();

void b2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Button clicked = (Button)sender;

    categoryname = clicked.Name;
}

The Tag property is probably what you want.

You are already using it in your example, but just have:

b2.Tag = integerValue;

Then in your click handler use Convert.ToInt32(object) method to get the integer value back:

int retrievedValue = Convert.ToInt32(clicked.Tag);
