That's the easy part. Are you familiar with C# and OOP at all? Or Intellisense? All you would have to do is start typing tablControlID.TabPages. and you would see an option for Add().

When adding any control dynamically, first create an instance of the control

TabControl tc = new TabControl();

Then you will probably need to position it and change some other properties e.g.

C#

tc.Top = 145;
tc.Left = 150;
tc.Name = "DynamicTabControl";

Add some tab pages to it...

C#

tc.TabPages.Add("My 1st Tab");
tc.TabPages.Add("My 2nd Tab");

You will probably want to add some event handlers too, so that you know when you have moved between tabs for example

tc.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged);

And you need to remember to add it to the controls collection for the form

this.Controls.Add(tc);

Here's an example of that event handler I set up

C#

private void tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TabControl tc1 = (TabControl)sender;
    MessageBox.Show(tc1.SelectedIndex.ToString());
}

If you want to add further tabs later on see reference[^]
An example:

C#

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // NB Find returns an array of controls - see the [0] at the end here...
    TabControl tc1 = (TabControl)this.Controls.Find("DynamicTabControl", true)[0];
    tc1.TabPages.Add("A 3rd Tab");
}
