The TabControl inherits from a Selector which contains the SelectionChanged event.

<TabControl SelectionChanged="OnSelectionChanged" ... />

private void OnSelectionChanged(Object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs args)
{
    var tc = sender as TabControl; //The sender is a type of TabControl...

    if (tc != null)
    {
        var item = tc.SelectedItem;

        //Do Stuff ...
    }
}
