The Telerik UI TabStrip HtmlHelper for ASP.NET MVC is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI TabStrip widget.
The TabStrip displays a collection of tabs with associated content. It is composed of an unordered list of items which represent tabs, and a collection of div elements, which contain the content for each tab.

</div>
</text>);
tabstrip.Add().Text("Sofia")
