I've written a blogpost, which you can read for further detail: Assign ToolTip to dynamically created colum of silverlight Gridview and How to create style for element runtime

I resolved issue following is way you can add tooltip for the autogenerated column in Telerik silverlight grid view same thing will work with silverlight grid view just need to change classes minor modification

private void EditableGV_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
{
   var style = new Style(typeof(GridViewHeaderCell));
   style.Setters.Add(new Setter(ToolTipService.ToolTipProperty, column.UniqueName));
   column.HeaderCellStyle = style; 
}
