<asp:Wizard OnActiveStepChanged="EventHandler" />

The ActiveStepChanged event is raised when the current step that is displayed in the Wizard control changes. Use the ActiveStepChanged event to provide additional processing when the current step of the Wizard control changes.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ActiveStepChanged event to update the HeaderText property of the Wizard control.
