[twinkie]

I m using the TabControl to list the items. If i click on one of the tab pages on the tabcontrol , i want the information on that particular tab pages to be retrieve from the database and display it on the on the tabcontrol itself. What are the codes to achieve this??

Each TabPage is like a Panel, on which you can place whatever controls you like. When you click on one of the tabs on the control the corresponding TabPage is displayed, thus displaying the controls you put on that page and only those controls. You don't have to do anything more than that to get the display to change. If you want to do something when the user clicks a tab, like retrieve data, then you should handle the SelectedIndexChanged event of the TabControl. You can then use the SelectedIndex or SelectedTab property to determine which TabPage is selected and then do whatever is required.
