Solution 1

Create your Rate Column as a Template. Inside the template put a control (anyone that you need. E.g Rating control from AJAX Toolkit)

So assign the title and/or tooltip property to:

XML

title='<%# Bind("Comments_Column_Name")>' tooltip='<%# Bind("Comments_column_name")>'

Comments_Column_Name is the name of your column as you explain on your question =)

Hope you can find it useful.

Sorry. Typing problem. Tooltip only works on IE. Title works in any other browser.

Try this :

       <asp:templatefield xmlns:asp="#unknown">
       <itemtemplate>
           
           <asp:linkbutton id="link1" runat="server" commandname="link" forecolor="Blue" tooltip="<%# String.Format("Comment for item :{0}", Eval("comment"))%>"> <%#Eval("item")%></asp:linkbutton>
       </itemtemplate>  


use :
ToolTip='<%# String.Format("Comment for item :{0}", Eval("comment"))%>'

hope this will help you...

if not please post it....</asp:templatefield>
