You can try using:

1 . ASP.Net Ajax Accordion Control

The Accordion is a web control that allows you to provide multiple panes and display them one at a time. It is like having several CollapsiblePanels where only one can be expanded at a time. The Accordion is implemented as a web control that contains AccordionPane web controls. Each AccordionPane control has a template for its Header and its Content. We keep track of the selected pane so it stays visible across postbacks.

2 . ASP.Net MultiView Controls

The MultiView and View Web server controls act as containers for other controls and markup, and provide a way for you to easily present alternate views of information.

You can use the MultiView and View controls to perform tasks such as the following:

Provide alternate sets of controls based on user choice or other conditions. For example, you might allow users to select from a list of feeds, each of which is configured in a separate View control. You can then display the View control that contains the user’s choice of feeds. You can use the MultiView and View controls as an alternative to creating multiple Panel controls.

Create a multi-page form. The MultiView and View controls can provide behavior that is similar to the Wizard control. The Wizard control is particularly suited to creating forms that users fill in step by step. The Wizard control also includes support for more built-in UI elements, such as a header and footer, for Previous and Next buttons, and for templates. You might use a MultiView control in place of a Wizard if you wanted to create a display that changed based on condition (rather than sequentially), or if you did not need the extra features supported by the Wizard control.
