I tried to drag a GridView control from Toolbox and drop it in the source (cannot drop it on the design view) of a tabstrip tab and the code was like:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
</asp:GridView>

When I switched back to desgin view I couldn't see anything. However the DropDownList works just fine.

So is it allowed to have a GridView control in a tabstrip tab? And if it is then how I can do that?

Thanks!

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it doesn't work on runtime either. It seems like tabstrip tab completely ignores the gridview control. But some other controls such as DropDownList and Calendar work fine.

Thanks,

Brent

Based on your suggestions, i created some data and made the render mode of tabsrip as all, and it worked!!!

Thanks so much for your help!
