It would not be a good idea to load a tooltip from a database source; even if you cut the delay time for displaying the tooltip down to nothing that will still likely give you some trouble. I would suggest that you put the tooltip text into the tag property of the treenode as you add the nodes to the tree and then recover the tag value when you want to display it as a tooltip.

You can treeview node NodeMouseHover event to do this:

private void treeView1_NodeMouseHover(object sender,

TreeNodeMouseHoverEventArgs e)

        {

            toolTip1.SetToolTip(treeView1, e.Node.Tag.ToString());

        }
