in c#, how do you determine the number of tabpages at runtime?

I mean the coder does not know beforehand how many tabs the user will need, so how does the coder handle the variable number of tab pages?

also, the number of tab pages should not effect the size of the form, which implies that great number of tab pages would imply lesser (but equal) area given to each tab page.

if you think i shouldnt be using tab control, then feel free to suggest alternatives too.... i just need some sort of tab functionality

I haven't really used the tab control, but why not keep a variable and add one to it every time a new tab is created.

Doesnt that work?

Also, when you add or remove tab-pages the size of the control does not change but rather the tab's either spread out or overrun.

Property or indexer 'System.Windows.Forms.TabControl.TabPageCollection.Count' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only

Try something like this, where tc is your TabControl instance, and tp is a TabPage:If you want to get the count of tabs, the easiest way is probably to use the TabCount property.
