I am trying to add a label to a tab page

tabMain.TabPages[0].Controls.Add(aLabel);

and get an error "specified argument was out of the range
of valid values.

Any ideas???
 
Yes - I actually have two tab pages - I've also tried
TabPages[1] - which gives the same error.

Hi Liz,

Are you sure that there is TabPages[0]?

There must be something wrong with your tab pages
I just did
this.tabCustomers.TabPages[0].Controls.Add(new TextBox())
On one of my old applications and it worked perfectly. The tabControl (tabCustomers) was built through the designer
Have you gone through debugger to check the pages are actually in the tab when you reference them?
 
I get the same error when I access the page that doesn't exist.
Try this:
Console.WriteLine(tabControl1.TabPages.Count);
