private void dataGridView1_DataBindingComplete(object sender, DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e) { foreach (DataGridViewRow row in ((DataGridView)sender).Rows) { foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells) { // Where 'myModelClass' is the name of your current data source model class in question for this row. if (String.Compare(dataGridView1.Columns[cell.ColumnIndex].Name, "Message", true) == 0) { DisplayCellTooltip(cell); } } } } private void DisplayCellTooltip(DataGridViewCell cell) { cell.ToolTipText = hashDescription[cell.Value.ToString()].ToString(); //I used hash table here..stored values in form load... }
