I want to know if it is possible to create multiple tabPages(with same added controls in all tabPages) within the same tabControl?
My first tabPage contains a label, textBox, button and a listView. And i want that all of my controls in this tab is made available when the user clicks to create a new tabPage.

Do you mean exactly the same instances on each tab page, or just that each tab page has the same layout and controls on it?

I dont understand the difference between the two.
But, i want is that when i click to create a new tabPage on a tabControl,the new tabPage must have the same controls as it was on the previous tab.

Yes you can. The contents of one TabPage within a TabControl are distinct from the contents of another TabPage in the same TabControl. The problem is in naming the controls so that there is no conflict. You cannot have TabPage1 and TabPage2 contain a Button named button1. So as you create the new TabPage, you need to insure that there are no name conflicts. So TabPage1 contains button1 and TabPage2 contains button2

I question a design that has this requirement. If two TabPages have the same contents, why have two TabPages in the first place.

This looks like a solution to me.
