How to move to a particular tab present in a aspx page using asp.net

am using vantage.aspx page i开发者_如何学Gon my asp.net application, which contains tabpanels like "tabpnlvantage", "tabpnlCell","tabpnlGrid". I have a link button in my "Home.aspx" page, if i select a particular link button in "home.aspx" page it should navigate to the "tabpnlvantage" tab in the "vantage.aspx page". how should i do this, can any one help me out. thanks in advance.

Use QueryString. In Home.aspx:

<a href='vantage.aspx?tab=tabpnlvantage' />

In vantage.aspx.cs:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if(! IsPostBack) {
      var tab = Request.QueryString["tab"];
      if(! string.IsNullOrEmpty(tab)) {
         foreach(TabPanel t in TabContainer.Tab) {
             if(t.ID == tab)
             {
                 TabContainer.ActiveTab = t;
                 break;
             }
         }
      }
   }
}

Not quite sure it works like that. When you click on the required 'tab', the associated content should be displayed.

Use TabContainer1.ActiveTabIndex = 2;

tab index starts from 0.

<ajaxToolkit:TabContainer ID="TabContainer1" runat="server" ActiveTabIndex="0">  
                <ajaxToolkit:TabPanel ID="tabpnlvantage" HeaderText="Header1" runat="server">  
                    <ContentTemplate>  
                    &nbsp;
                    </ContentTemplate>  
                </ajaxToolkit:TabPanel>  
                <ajaxToolkit:TabPanel ID="tabpnlcells" HeaderText="Header2" runat="server" >  
                    <ContentTemplate>  

                    </ContentTemplate>              
                </ajaxToolkit:TabPanel>  
                <ajaxToolkit:TabPanel ID="tabpnlgrid" HeaderText="Header3" runat="server">  
                    <ContentTemplate>  

                    </ContentTemplate>              
                </ajaxToolkit:TabPanel>  
            </ajaxToolkit:TabContainer>
