Tooltip - binding...

[Paul Aspinall]

Hi
Is it possible to also bind to the Tooltip property of the control, when
binding the data to the control??

I have a Dataset which contains various bits of data. When a user hovers
over a row, or cell, I want to display a tooltip, which has been bound from
the Dataset.
This will vary from Cell to cell, or maybe row to row.

Does anyone have an example of how to do this?

Thanks

Handle the datagrids ItemDataBound
example...

Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles
DataGrid1.ItemDataBound
If e.Item.Cells(0).Text = "Fault"
e.Item.Cells(0).ToolTip = "There is a fault in the CMOS Chip IC08, Check
that pin 7 has +ve & pin 1 is grounded"
e.Item.Cells(0).BackColor = Color.Red
Else
e.Item.Cells(0).ToolTip = "The CMOS Chip IC08 is healthy..."
e.Item.Cells(0).BackColor = Color.Green
End If

If e.Item.Cells(1).Text = "Fault"
e.Item.Cells(1).ToolTip = "There is a fault in the TTL Chip IC12, Check
that pin 5 has +5v and Pin 6 is grounded"
e.Item.Cells(1).BackColor = Color.Red
Else
e.Item.Cells(1).ToolTip = "The TTL Chip IC12 is healthy..."
e.Item.Cells(1).BackColor = Color.Green
End If
End Sub
