RadMultipage

RadMultiPage is a natively integrated control in RadTabStrip, which acts as a container for content. As the content is separated from the tabstrip labels, it can be positioned anywhere in the page. Using RadMultipage to render content independently of the tab gives developers more freedom in the authoring process.
