Question

I have a multiview control on my page and a menu to create a tab control

<asp:Menu ID="tabMenu" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticMenuItemStyle-CssClass="tab"
    StaticSelectedStyle-CssClass="selectedTab" CssClass="tabs" OnMenuItemClick="Menu1_MenuItemClick" runat="server">
</asp:Menu><asp:MultiView ID="multiViewTab" ActiveViewIndex="0" runat="server">
       <asp:View ID="viewDetails" runat="server">
            <uc:ViewDetails runat="server" ID="ucViewDetails" />
        </asp:View>
        <asp:View ID="viewJobs" runat="server">
            <uc:ViewJob ID="ucViewJob" runat="server" />
        </asp:View>
        <asp:View ID="viewJobList" runat="server">
            <uc:ViewJobList ID="ucViewJobList" runat="server" />
        </asp:View>           
    </asp:MultiView>

and i set the current view as follow

     protected void Menu1_MenuItemClick(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
    {
        int index = Int32.Parse(e.Item.Value);
        if (index != 0)
        {
            tabMenu.FindItem("0").Selected = false;
        }
        multiViewTab.ActiveViewIndex = index;

    }

it works well … the only problem is that each time i click on a view all the views are loaded.while i would like to load only the one which is active

Do you know any way to avoid the loading of all the views?

What is the problem with loading all the views? If it’s a performance issue, you can modify your binding (or whatever) code so it only happens if that view is visible.
