Hi,

I want to use a Tab control. Is there any available in ASP.NET 2.0? Did a
search and can't find much.

Any info/alternatives appreciated.

There's no native tab control in ASP.NET.

However, it's possible to simulate one by a combination of <asp:Menu> and
<asp:MultiView>:

The problem with this is that only the controls in the 'current' tab are
rendered to the browser, which e.g. makes client-side comparison validation
impossible...

Another option is to use a client-side tab 'control' e.g.

For client-side solutions, I think that Project Seven's Tab control is quite
good. Its code is very standards-compliant, and the interface is very
user-friendly. Very good documentation.

Downside is that it is essentially a Dreamweaver extension, so if you don't
have DW, you probably won't be able to use it. Also, it's 60 bucks.
