Hi Bryon,
Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.
Whenever the tab strip is clicked, you are navigating to the same page and hence the page life cycle starts again as a fresh page. So, the tab stripe will highlight the default selected items only. We suggest you to pass the clicked tabstrip details in the query string and based on that, you can set the selected property as true for the clicked tab in the navigated page.
Please refer the following code snippet:
[VB]
Dim strAction As String = Request.QueryString("Action")
Dim strtab As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString("tab"))
Dim stritem As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString("item"))if ((stritem != null) && ( strtab != null))
If (stritem IsNot Nothing) AndAlso (strtab IsNot Nothing) Then
If strtab = 0 Then
Me.TabStrip2.Items(stritem).Selected = True
Else
Me.TabStrip1.Items(stritem).Selected = True
End If
End If
I have also prepared a simple sample and it can be downloaded from the below link,

Kindly try this and let me know if this helps.
