[kahwai1984]

How can i create multiple tabpage with same component?
for example, i had create a listview in tabpage1, how do i copy the listview and put in every tabpage?

Declare your own class and inherit the TabPage class. In the constructor create a ListView and add it to the page. Now add instances of your class to your TabControl instead of regular TabPages.

The Name property of a control is not displayed. It's a way to identify a control within a form's Controls collection. Always read the documentation first. If you use a member and it doesn't work then read its help file to make sure you're using it properly before doing anything else. RTFM applies to software developers more than most, because if we don't read help files then how can we expect the users of our software to do so.
