Question

I need to show a tooltip when mouse is placed on GridView Row (onmouseover) I need to set the Tooltip content Dynamically in GridView_RowData

How can I Do this??

Can I Do this in e.Row.Attributes.Add(... ??

Answer 1

Try it like this...

protected void GridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        //use this way
        e.Row.ToolTip = "My FooBar tooltip";
         //or use this way
        e.Row.Attributes.Add("title", "My FooBar tooltip");
    }
 }

This will show tooltip for entire row..If you need to show on a particular control then find that control and set is Tooltip attribute to your own title...
