Re: Can web forms communicate with one another directly?

Um... no... if your WebFormB had a static property for the selected tab
index, you could use that, but your pages aren't always there... they
get instantiated and ripped down again when a user requests them, and
besides if you did it that way, all your users would have the same
selected tab, and I assume that's not what you wanted.

If you want to pass user-specific information between pages,
QueryString and Session State are your friends.
