Show Hide Tabpages in Tabcontrol

The Visible property has not been implemented on the Tabcontrol and there is no Insert method. The following methods are a workaround.
This some sample by: Mick Doherty. demonstrated how to manipulate show and hide tabpages in a tabcontrol. See this code, sample in VB net and Csharp
:

Hide TabPages VB net Sample:

Private Sub HideTabPage(ByVal tp As TabPage)
  If TabControl1.TabPages.Contains(tp) Then TabControl1.TabPages.Remove(tp)
End Sub

Private Sub ShowTabPage(ByVal tp As TabPage)
  ShowTabPage(tp, TabControl1.TabPages.Count)
End Sub

Private Sub ShowTabPage(ByVal tp As TabPage, ByVal index As Integer)
  If TabControl1.TabPages.Contains(tp) Then Return
  InsertTabPage(tp, index)
End Sub

Private Sub InsertTabPage(ByVal [tabpage] As TabPage, ByVal [index] As Integer)
  If [index] < 0 Or [index] > TabControl1.TabCount Then
    Throw New ArgumentException("Index out of Range.")
  End If
  TabControl1.TabPages.Add([tabpage])
  If [index] < TabControl1.TabCount - 1 Then
    Do While TabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf([tabpage]) <> [index]
    SwapTabPages([tabpage], (TabControl1.TabPages(TabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf([tabpage]) - 1)))
    Loop
  End If
  TabControl1.SelectedTab = [tabpage]
End Sub

Private Sub SwapTabPages(ByVal tp1 As TabPage, ByVal tp2 As TabPage)
  If TabControl1.TabPages.Contains(tp1) = False Or TabControl1.TabPages.Contains(tp2) = False Then
    Throw New ArgumentException("TabPages must be in the TabCotrols TabPageCollection.")
  End If
  Dim Index1 As Integer = TabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf(tp1)
  Dim Index2 As Integer = TabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf(tp2)
  TabControl1.TabPages(Index1) = tp2
  TabControl1.TabPages(Index2) = tp1

  'Uncomment the following section to overcome bugs in the Compact Framework
  'TabControl1.SelectedIndex = TabControl1.SelectedIndex 
  'Dim tp1Text, tp2Text As String
  'tp1Text = tp1.Text
  'tp2Text = tp2.Text
  'tp1.Text=tp2Text
  'tp2.Text=tp1Text

End Sub

Hide TabPages Csharp Sample:

private void HideTabPage(TabPage tp)
{
if (tabControl1.TabPages.Contains(tp))
tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(tp);
}

private void ShowTabPage(TabPage tp)
{
ShowTabPage(tp, tabControl1.TabPages.Count);
}

private void ShowTabPage(TabPage tp , int index)
{
if (tabControl1.TabPages.Contains(tp)) return;
InsertTabPage(tp, index);
}

private void InsertTabPage(TabPage tabpage, int index)
{
if (index < 0 || index > tabControl1.TabCount)
throw new ArgumentException("Index out of Range.");
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(tabpage);
if (index < tabControl1.TabCount - 1)
do 
{
SwapTabPages(tabpage, (tabControl1.TabPages[tabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf(tabpage) - 1]));
}
while (tabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf(tabpage) != index);
tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabpage;
}

private void SwapTabPages(TabPage tp1, TabPage tp2)
{
if (tabControl1.TabPages.Contains(tp1) == false || tabControl1.TabPages.Contains(tp2) == false)
throw new ArgumentException("TabPages must be in the TabControls TabPageCollection.");

int Index1 = tabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf(tp1);
int Index2 = tabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf(tp2);
tabControl1.TabPages[Index1] = tp2;
tabControl1.TabPages[Index2] = tp1;
//Uncomment the following section to overcome bugs in the Compact Framework
//tabControl1.SelectedIndex = tabControl1.SelectedIndex; 
//string tp1Text, tp2Text;
//tp1Text = tp1.Text;
//tp2Text = tp2.Text;
//tp1.Text=tp2Text;
//tp2.Text=tp1Text;
