[...] As it turns out Microsoft doesn’t set the DataContext property of the tooltip control. Rendering databinding completely useless. Luckely people in the community have come up with a very good solution to this problem: http://www.wiredprairie.us/blog/index.php/archives/568 [...]

I also thank you. This is the first approach that worked for me. I have a tree view with images at each node. I wanted a tooltip to appear when hovering over those images. I couldn’t get a tooltip to bind dynamically (unless simply a property of the image control itself which prevented proper styling), until I tried your solution.

Many thanks!

Thank you for posting this wonderful solution. I have tried it and it works well except for when there is scrolling region. I have a datagrid and and when there are large number of rows, when one scrolls down the tips seem to stuck to the original visible area. This may be related to eburke’s and your comments. Do you have any ideas/solutions for this issue?
Thank you.

Nice work! Compared to all the hastle of building rich tooltips in ASP.Net (even using the AJAXControlToolkit), this is a breeze. Thanks!
