What is the easiest way to include a tooltip in the gridView column?
For example in this column
e.Row.Cells[7].ToolTip = e.Row.Cells[7].Text;
i did something like that it seems worked. What i do is to show the content of cell as a tool tip. You can put some longer comments here.
I handled situtation from codebehind. No sure it is best solution.
hope it helps.
Replaced with template
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Comments" SortExpression="short_comment">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("short_comment") %>' ToolTip ='<%# Bind("longer_comment") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
