I am developing an ASP.NET application that has about 10 different main pages. I'd like to use a TabStrip on the main page with 10 tabs, one for each of the main pages I have. My question is, what is the programming practice for doing this? Do I put all my code into RadViews? By doing that, that would give me one really really big .ASPX file and probably be cumbersome to manage. Is there an alternate way to doing this that I am missing?

Hello Alan,

You can place UserControls with the required content in the RadPageViews rather than adding the controls/content directly into the RadPageView. Here is an example:

aspx:

Happy New Year!
Shinu.

Ack your overhead on that would be insane!

If you want to use the radtabs for your main navigation then personally I would not use pageviews but rather use a iframe + splitter and use the client click function of the tabs to change your content.

ie:
<splitter>
<pane>
<tabs>
</pane>
<pane>
<iframe>
</pane>
</splitter>

You don't have to use a splitter but you get the general idea loading 10 pages worth of content up at the same time (regardless of using ajax) is going to be overkill expecially if 9 out of 10 times they are only use 3 primary tabs.
