Hello sonia,
The RadTabControl is a
custom control not a user control and to use it with MVVM you'll just need to bind its ItemsSource property to some viewModel collection. You can read a help article on the subject
here.
I've attached a sample project demonstrating this so could you please examine it and if you have more questions feel free to ask.
Regards,
Zarko
