Use TabControl.SelectedIndex property to change the selected tab from code.

For example, when you want to select the third tab:

tabControlName.SelectedIndex = 2;

If you are using the: TabControl Class

surely you can use one of these two properties:

SelectedIndex - Gets or sets the index of the currently selected TabItem

SelectedItem - Gets or sets the currently selected TabItem.
