This example demonstrates how to fetch the contents of RadMultiPage on demand using Ajax. RadTabStrip is ajaxified and page views are created on demand in the TabClick event handler:

C#:
private void AddPageView(string pageViewID)
{
    RadPageView pageView = new RadPageView();
    pageView.ID = pageViewID;
    RadMultiPage1.PageViews.Add(pageView);
}

protected void RadTabStrip1_TabClick(object sender, RadTabStripEventArgs e)
{
    AddPageView(e.Tab.Text);
    e.Tab.PageView.Selected = true;
}
VB.NET
Private Sub AddPageView(ByVal pageViewID As String)
    Dim pageView As New RadPageView()
    pageView.ID = pageViewID
    RadMultiPage1.PageViews.Add(pageView)
End Sub

Protected Sub RadTabStrip1_TabClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RadTabStripEventArgs) Handles RadTabStrip1.TabClick
    AddPageView(e.Tab.Text)
    e.Tab.PageView.Selected = True
End Sub

Ajax requests are canceled for tabs whose corresponding pageviews have been loaded. This is done by setting the postBack client-side property of the tabs during the OnClientTabSelecting event:

<script type="text/javascript">
function onTabSelecting(sender, args)
{
    if (args.get_tab().get_pageViewID())
    {
        args.get_tab().set_postBack(false);
    }
}
</script>
