Example
This example illustrates how the ASPxTabControl can be bound to the XmlDataSource component that obtains data from an xml file. The ASPxTabControl implements specific properties that point to the data fields containing the necessary data. These are the ASPxTabControl.NameField, ASPxTabControl.NavigateUrlField, ASPxTabControl.TabImageUrlField, ASPxTabControl.ActiveTabImageUrlField, ASPxTabControl.TextField and ASPxTabControl.ToolTipField properties. If these properties are not defined, the ASPxTabControl is able to automatically bind to data fields whose names coincide with the property names of a Tab object (such as the TabBase.Name, Tab.NavigateUrl, TabBase.TabImage, TabBase.ActiveTabImage, TabBase.Text and TabBase.ToolTip).
In this demo, navigate locations for tabs are composed by formatting values of the ‘id’ data field in a specific manner. The ‘id’ data field is pointed by the ASPxTabControl.NavigateUrlField property, and a format string is defined via the ASPxTabControl.NavigateUrlFormatString property.
<dx:ASPxTabControl ID="ASPxTabControl1" runat="server"
DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" NavigateUrlField="id" NavigateUrlFormatString="?id={0}">
</dx:ASPxTabControl>
<asp:XmlDataSource ID="XmlDataSource1" runat="server"
DataFile="~/App_Data/TabControlData.xml" XPath="//product">
</asp:XmlDataSource>
