In the ItemCreated event for the datagrid, check for e.ItemType

If e.ItemType = ListItemType.He ader, then simply do this:

e.Item.Cells(0) = "Id"
e.Item.Cells(1) = "Name"
e.Item.Cells(2) = "Cigarettes Per Day"

You can handle the DataBound event on the DataGrid. This is fired after each
row is created. The event is passed the row that was just created so you
can see if it's the header row. If it is, then you can drill into its Controls
collection and then modify them however you want (by adding the tooltip via
an attribute).

I'm trying to work with a datagrid column in order to display a tooltip in a datagrid cell. The reason I am doing this is because I have some long strings being returned and I don't want the rows of the datagrid expaning down to much. I basically want to display the first 50 characters in the grid cell and then display the rest as a tooltip in the grid cell. I'm not sure if this is possible but if anyone can help me do this I would be very...

I have a datagrid on a web page that has several columns in it. Is there a way to provide a tooltip for each of the columns (i.e. to say how they were calculated or what a specific literal in the column means)? Thanks SC

I have a simple DataSet with a single table being bound to a DataGrid. One of the columns is displaying a linkbutton or button so that the user can "drill through" to another related report. I would LOVE to be able to put a tooltip on each linkbutton/button based on the contents of the of another column in my DataSet. (Essentially a more detailed explanation of the link). Any suggestions on how to implement this? Thanks in advance.

I need to have a Tooltip on each Cell in a datagrid, I don't know how to do this. I'm using Styles to the datagrid (Which I asume most people do since you never need to show all the fields from the source). The Cell I want a tooltip on is styled with a textboxcolumn and the TextBox Object in that TextBox Column doesn't seem to have a property called Tooltip.. so i'm sorta stranded here... Best regards/ Lars
