TabControlSettings.NameField Property

Gets or sets the name of a data field (or an xml element’s attribute) which provides tab unique identifier names.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web.Mvc

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.Mvc5.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public string NameField { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property NameField As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A string value that specifies the name of the required data source field.

Remarks

The NameField property is in effect if the TabControl is bound to a data source (via the TabControlExtension.Bind, TabControlExtension.BindToSiteMap or TabControlExtension.BindToXML methods).

Use the NameField property to specify the bound data source’s data field (or an xml element’s attribute) which stores unique identifier names of tabs. The NameField property maps the TabBase.Name properties of TabBase objects to the specified data field’s values.

If the NameField property of a data bound TabControl is not defined, the TabControl can automatically obtain active tab names from a data field which is named as “Name”. You can also handle the TabControlSettings.TabDataBound event to manipulate a tab’s settings as required.
