ASPX Template Structure

You can define two types of Telerik RadTabStrip templates:

1. Global (RadTabStrip Tab Template) templates are applied to all RadTabs automatically;

2. Per tab (Tab Template) templates override global templates.

DataBinder.Eval expressions work only when the tabstrip is in a bound mode. In other words, you should explicitly call the DataBind() method even if no datasource is set to the tabstrip.

The following demonstrates how to embed RadMenu in the RadTabStrp tabs. For this purpose the (per-tab) TabTemplates of the tabs are used.

There is also a multipage control associated with the tabstrip to provide additional information.
