How to apply CSS for Ajax TabContainer Control in ASP.NET 2.0



This article explains us how to give own css style for Ajax TabContainer Control. 

1. Create new ASP.NET AjaxEnabled Website. 

2. Drag and Drop TabContainer Control from Toolkit to web form. 

3. Drag and Drop TabPanel Control from Toolkit to TabContainer.And Drop Label, Textbox and Button Controls to TabPanels, like this 

Sample code :


<cc1:TabContainer ID="TabContainer1" runat="server" ActiveTabIndex="0">
<cc1:TabPanel ID="TabPanel1" runat="server" HeaderText="Tab 1">
        <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>                          
        </ContentTemplate>
 </cc1:TabPanel>
 <cc1:TabPanel ID="TabPanel2" runat="server" HeaderText="Tab 2">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
            </ContentTemplate>
</cc1:TabPanel>
<cc1:TabPanel ID="TabPanel3" runat="server" HeaderText="Tab 3">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button1" />
            </ContentTemplate>
</cc1:TabPanel>
</cc1:TabContainer>

4. Now create a new Style Sheet with the following css code. 

/*Header*/
.Tab .ajax__tab_header
{
    color#4682b4;
    font-family:Calibri;
    font-size14px;
    font-weightbold;
    background-color#ffffff;
    margin-left0px;
}
/*Body*/
.Tab .ajax__tab_body
{
    border:1px solid #b4cbdf;
    padding-top:0px;
}
/*Tab Active*/
.Tab .ajax__tab_active .ajax__tab_tab
{
    color#ffffff;
    background:url("../../tab_active.gif") repeat-x;
    height:20px;
}
.Tab .ajax__tab_active .ajax__tab_inner
{
    color#ffffff;
    background:url("../../tab_left_active.gif") no-repeat left;
    padding-left:10px;
}
.Tab .ajax__tab_active .ajax__tab_outer
{
    color#ffffff;
    background:url("../../tab_right_active.gif") no-repeat right;
    padding-right:6px;
}
/*Tab Hover*/
.Tab .ajax__tab_hover .ajax__tab_tab
{
    color#000000;
    background:url("../../tab_hover.gif") repeat-x;
    height:20px;
}
.Tab .ajax__tab_hover .ajax__tab_inner
{
    color#000000;
    background:url("../../tab_left_hover.gif") no-repeat left;
    padding-left:10px;
}
.Tab .ajax__tab_hover .ajax__tab_outer
{
    color#000000;
    background:url("../../tab_right_hover.gif") no-repeat right;
    padding-right:6px;
}
/*Tab Inactive*/
.Tab .ajax__tab_tab
{
    color#666666;
    background:url("../../tab_Inactive.gif") repeat-x;
    height:20px;
}
.Tab .ajax__tab_inner
{
    color#666666;
    background:url("../../tab_left_inactive.gif") no-repeat left;
    padding-left:10px;
}
.Tab .ajax__tab_outer
{
    color#666666;
    background:url("../../tab_right_inactive.gif") no-repeat right;
    padding-right:6px;
    margin-right2px;
}

5. Now add CssClass="Tab" to TabContainer like this 

<cc1:TabContainer ID="TabContainer1" runat="server" ActiveTabIndex="0" CssClass="Tab" >

Download Images here, 

tab_left_active.gif tab_active.gif tab_right_active.gif tab_left_hover.gif tab_hover.gif tab_right_hover.gif tab_left_inactive.gif tab_Inactive.gif tab_right_inactive.gif

Finally TabContainer looks like

How to hide url parameters in asp.net

There are different ways to Hide the URL in asp.net , you can choose any one from bellow options . Previously I was Explained about the  Difference between Convert.tostring and .tostring() method Example  ,   Reasons to use Twitter Bootstrap , How to Register AJAX toolkit in web.config file in asp.net a) Using Post Method b) Using Of Session . c) URL Encoding & decoding process . d) Using Server.Transfer() instead of Response.Redirect() method (1)Use a form and POST the information. This might require additional code in source pages, but should not require logic changes in the target pages (merely change Request.QueryString to Request.Form).

ASP.NET Routing

ASP.NET routing enables you to use URLs that do not have to map to specific files in a Web site. Because the URL does not have to map to a file, you can use URLs that are descriptive of the user's action and therefore are more easily understood by users. The ASP.NET MVC framework and ASP.NET Dynamic Data extend routing to provide features that are used only in MVC applications and in Dynamic Data applications. For more information about MVC, see ASP.NET MVC 3 . For more information about Dynamic Data, see ASP.NET Dynamic Data Content Map . In an ASP.NET application that does not use routing, an incoming request for a URL typically maps to a physical file that handles the request, such as an .aspx file. For example, a request for http://server/application/Products.aspx?id=4 maps to a file that is named Products.aspx that contains code and markup for rendering a response to the browser. The Web page uses the query string value of id=4 to determine what type of c...
