I would like to provide tabbed functionality in an asp .net application.
However, I would like to maintain state on the client while moving within the
tabs and navigating to other screens. What are the best ways to achieve a
rich client interface in a asp .net application ? Can you please provide with
technology options within the .net framework web technologies and possibly
some sample sites/code ?

Thanks,

Alex

You can keep state on each page using Hidden Fields and passing data
from one page to the next not good for passing data between pages but
rather the same page on a PostBack, or you can keep state with Session
variables passed between pages.

There are plenty of examples of how to do this if you search Bing or Google.

You should also look-up (plenty of examples) on how to use MVP (Model
View Presenter) or MVC (Model View Controller).

I've used LinkButtons and my own HTML/CSS to build my own tabbed navigation
"containers" but when I started needing a lot of instances I decided the
best choice --for me--at the time-- was to use the Ajax Tabbed Container
Control. Go to http://asp.net/ and look at the Ajax Controls.
