“However, one problem with it is that when user refreshes the page, it defaults back to the first tab. This will cause user confusion if you have pagination in third tab let’s say. Every time, when user click a page number on third tab. Page get refreshed and it should show third tab, not the first tab.”
How much is it true?

Hi Nick,

“using System.Web.Script.Services;” can be found in ServerUtilities.cs file.

The source code had been simplified for approving of the concept only. The tab changes can be identified by tab title. And the tab will stay same when the page is refreshed.

Any control can be added into a tab for a real application. To make it more obvious, I added a Label control on each tab in download source code. A different label will be shown when a tab is clicked now.

Again this is just for approving of the concept. If somebody want to learn how to use tabContainer, I would recommend him/her go to following link for details

http://www.asp.net/Ajax/Ajaxcontroltoolkit/samples/Tabs/Tabs.aspx

By the way, you may try to click Email tab on Tabs Demonstration in above URL and then refresh the page, you will see it will switch back to the first tab. This is the default behavior of the tabContainer and the problem this blog is working on…

You forgot to add this to your webservice C# code.

using System.Web.Script.Services;

Also, what is tc? Granted from your code I know tc is tabContainer, but give some more code for the noobs of the world.

Plus when I use this code, nothing is working at all. I click a tab, it doesn’t change. I click another tab, the tab that I clicked previously is then changed.
