Tooltip for Drop down list items

Question

I have a dropdownlist and I want to add tooltip for dropdownlist items. I tried with following code, but it does not work;

for (int d = 0; d < drpID.Items.Count; d++)
{
    drpID.Items[d].Attributes.Add("title", drpID.Items[d].Value);          
}

Can anyone help me on this?

Try like this;

public void Tooltip(ListControl lc)
{
    for (int d = 0; d < lc.Items.Count; d++)
    {
        lc.Items[d].Attributes.Add("title", lc.Items[d].Text);
    }
}

You should use .Text property for tooltip, not for .Value.
