 <asp:DropDownList id="DropDownListq1" runat="server"                       DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="True-False" 
DataValueField="True-False" AutoPostBack="True"  OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownListq1_SelectionChanged" ></asp:DropDownList>

or

<asp:TextBox                                    id="TextBoxPlayFname" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true"                                  OnTextChanged="TextBoxPlayFname_TextChanged" AutoCompleteType="Disabled" ></asp:TextBox>

Thank you for your help in advance.

Consider placing the content in the tabs into UpdatePanels. This will get rid of the flash and should maintain the proper tab selection upon refreshing.

Otherwise, you need to check the selected tab in the PageLoad event, then set the proper tab in the PagePreRender event.

There may be a way fro the tab control to remember it's selection. It's likely that you will have to ensure that the ViewState for the tab control is set to enabled.
