Tabstrip SelectedIndex reverting to 0 on page load

[Dave]

Greetings,

I am using a tabstrip in a user control (ascx) in a web application (aspx)
that is used to navigate between the different aspx pages. Whenever I click
on one of them, the response.redire ct command works fine, but the page
reloads with the first tab selected every time. If I try to change the
selectedindex, it runs my SelectedIndexCh anged routine so that doesn't work
either.

Is there a way I can change the selectedindex of the tabstrip without
running the "OnSelectedInde xChange" command?

Below is my code:

Sub TabStrip_PIP_Se lectedIndexChan ge(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Select Case Tabstrip_PIP.se lectedindex
Case 0
Response.Redire ct("ProjectSumm ary.aspx")
Tabstrip_PIP.se lectedindex = 0
Exit Sub
Case 1
Response.Redire ct("ChargeNumbe rs.aspx")
Exit Sub
Case 2
Response.Redire ct("Invoices.as px")
Exit Sub
Case 3
Response.Redire ct("Labor.aspx" )
Exit Sub
Case 4
Response.Redire ct("Travel.aspx ")
Exit Sub
Case 5
Response.Redire ct("ODC.aspx")
Exit Sub
Case 6
Response.Redire ct("Subcontract s.aspx")
Exit Sub
Case 7
Response.Redire ct("PurchaseOrd ers.aspx")
Exit Sub
Case 8
Response.Redire ct("ChargeSumma ry.aspx")
Exit Sub
End Select
End Sub
