changes to the appearance of the tabs, including such things as having images as tab

Summary
In this chapter as well as the previous one, you were introduced to most of the controls in
the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit. And as you have seen, these controls can bring about
tremendous gains in development effort because they provide some advanced effects
and client UI functionality with very little code and near drag-and-drop ease. Also, this
toolkit is available with its source code and thus customizable.
Finally, due to a large number of script files that are often generated, the performance
of your ASP.NET page may at times be somewhat sluggish. Therefore, it??™s important
to use good judgment when deciding to use a number of the toolkit extenders on heavy
(containing lots of content and dynamic controls) pages with lots of traffic.
