C#

XML

Following is the code for use in the Frontend /markup.



<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Description"
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Left(Eval("Description"),20) %>'
tooltip='<%# Eval("Description") %>' ></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>



This can be done using Codebehind from the RowDataBound event of the GridView

you can do it using template column as shown below :

XML

<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="gridMain" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
        <Columns>
            <asp:TemplateField>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <div title='<%#Eval("StudentName") %>'>
                        <%#Eval("StudentName") %>
                    </div>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>
