Hello

I have a webpage that contains a TabContainer and then a sub TabContainer inside that.

I want to be able to populate some of the tabs in the sub TabContainer dynamically based on the results of a SqlDataSource.

For Example:

The SqlDataSource selects a list of people who belong a particular group, I want to show each member on a different Tab of the TabContainer

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Pete

Hi,

I'd do this dynamic tab panel creation this way (it also works in the Page_Load event handler):

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnInit(e);

    // Create the tab panel's content container
    Control tabContent = new Control();

    TabPanel tab = new TabPanel();
    tab.ID = "tabPanel1";
    tab.HeaderText = "Dynamic Panel";

    Label label = new Label();
    label.Text = "This is a dynamic tab panel";
    tabContent.Controls.Add(label);
    tab.Controls.Add(tabContent);
    this.tabContainer1.Tabs.Add(tab);
}

This pice of code works for me perfect. The tabContainer1 control is of type AjaxControlToolkit.TabContainer and is declared on the page this way:

<ajaxcc:TabContainer ID="tabContainer1" runat="server">
</ajaxcc:TabContainer>

Happy Coding:rose::rose::thumbsup: :)
