How to not process invisible controls?

[iwease]

I have created a tab control that causes a postback. Only one tab is visible at a time but all the tabs contain datagrids and man other controls. All the controls within the invisible tabs are processed even though it is not necessary....is there a way to prevent this from happening (eg, when a tab is invisible, don't automatically databind, etc)

Yes - don't set the DataSource property or call the DataBind event unless the control is going to be visible.

hmmm...yeah..I was afraid that would be the only way. The problem is, my tabs are in panels and I don't really know what's in them....I guess I will just search through their child controls until i find gridviews
