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

If e.ItemType = ListItemType.Header, 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).
