The problem is not clear. As I understand, this is you who copy data to a tooltip, not that it appears there by itself, so how come you have any problems accessing it? If you have a problem in your runtime behavior, always use the debugger.

ASP.NET running in browser has restrictions and you cannot copy to clipboard directly, for that you need additional plugin or you can achieve through client-side scripts.

These will not be so effective, and processing will be harder, i don't understand your reason to put in clip-board, if you are using Silverlight or something use this, or prefer other alternatives, by keeping in cookie, Client side Caching etc...

You cannot copy tooltip text.

What you can do is, via code, get the full tooltip text[^] (when mouse is hoevered) and then copy it to the clipboard[^].

you can use firebug in mozilla. to copy tooltip text on any control by inspecting it.
