Did you finally figure out how to do this? If not...

.NET's TabControl is a bit different from Visual FoxPro's PageFrame. First of all, each element of a TabControl--the TabControl itself and each TabPage are surfaced as form-level objects. For example, if you have a TabControl named MyTabControl that has two pages named tabSummary and tabDetail, all three are surfaced as at the form level as follows:

this.TabControl
this.tabSummary
this.tabDetail

(For that matter, all controls contained in each TabPage are also surfaced as form-level objects).

Now, let's say you are on the tabSummary page and want to change to the tabDetail page. You can use the following form-level code:

this.TabControl.SelectedTab = this.tabDetail;

If you want to check if the current tab is the tabSummary page you could run the following form-level code:

if (this.tabControl.SelectedTab == this.tabSummary)
{
   // perform processing
}

In addition to the books mentioned by others, I've got an upcoming book ".NET for VFP Developers" that's coming out in September 2002 (Hentzenwerke publishing, tech-edited by Cathi Gero) that I think you'll also find useful.
