We are pleased to announce the availability of WebTabSet for ASP.NET and WebTabSet Studio.

With WebTabSet, you can select web content organized in a flat or hierarchal fashion, using a familiar tabbed user-interface. WebTabSet Studio, included with WebTabSet for ASP.NET or available separately, works in all development environments.

Some of the WebTabSet features include:

• Visual Designer Application - Platform neutral, cloud-based application that allows you to visually design your control layouts.

• Customizable Appearance - Full control of the WebTabSet appearance through its properties, style sheet definitions or themes and skins.

• Flexible Data Retrieval Methods - Supports multiple ways to retrieve control data and includes a sample for each method:

  • Item Objects - The Items objects collection allows the tabs to be created in the visual designer or programmatically on the server.

  • ControlData Property - A control property that allows the tab objects to be specified as a string in JSON format.

  • JavaScript Callback - Client-side JavaScript callback event handers can be used to populate the tab objects on-demand.

  • Built-in AJAX - Out of the box support for retrieving the tab objects from an AJAX web service.

  • Custom AJAX - Ability to implement your own AJAX implementation to meet the needs of your web applications.

• Customizable Content Panes - The control focuses on maintaining and rendering the tabs, and gives the developer the power to customize the related content.

• Flat, Symmetric or Jagged Hierarchies - Supports data organized in flat (single depth), symmetric (all the same depth) or jagged (varying depth) hierarchies.

• Key/Value Pairs - Allows the user to select friendly, localizable names while interacting with the back-end servers through unique identifiers.

• Site Navigation Support - Compatible with the ASP.NET site-navigation feature, and can present a user interface for navigating the contents of a web site.

• Keyboard Access - Contains a keyboard interface for navigating its contents, which satisfies §1194.21(a) of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
