If you’ll ask all the ASP.Net developers on what control they want Microsoft to create and include freely, I bet that Tab Control is in the top 5 list. Well, now our dreams finally came true. With the released ASP.Net AJAX last January 2007, the ASP.Net AJAX Team included 4 new controls that are not in their RC1 and Tab Control is one of them (others are AutoComplete, Calendar, MaskedEdit).
Now I am currently involved in a web application development that is deeply in need of tab-based navigation to greatly improve the page’s user friendliness. We downloaded and installed that AJAXToolkit from ASP.Net site, plugged it in one of your page, provided it’s required and necessary properties saved the file and refreshed the page. Our fingers were crossed with be waited for the progress bar to reached it’s maximum length and after the page was rendered, this is what we saw.
