I'm using VS2010,C# to develop my ASP.NET web app, I'm going to display some small and simple tooltips over my objects, I want to be able to set tooltip text from codebehind, what are my options (solutions for all browsers)? how can I find some easy-to-use tooltips with usage tutorials?
thanks
Many ASP.NET controls contain a settable ToolTip property
Most controls are going to have a ToolTip property on the control that you can set. I don't know of any issues between browsers.

Also if you are trying to do anything w/ rich content you might want to check out something like this.

i have dropdownlists in my asp.net web site, now i want to switch them into something like menu and its items should look like menu items, at mouseover event items in that control should be displayed, is it possible to achieve? how?
It is very well possible using javascript/jquery and setting the css to give it the placing and affects you feel like. You will many such examples googling it out....one such is: http://www.queness.com/post/1047/easy-to-style-jquery-drop-down-menu-tutorial
If you like to convert an existin dropDownList to a menou like I know the the Linkselect jQuery plug-in but also I know a similar from Yahoo User Interface Library
jQuery or other library is strongly suggested for a complex conversion like that, at least the examples I know use a library.
I am looking for a nice tooltip control (with delay) in ASP.NET AJAX. I know there are many nice Javascript libraries out there, but since I am already using ASP.NET AJAX, I may just as well use that.
An "oldie-but-goodie" that I have used many times for tooltips would be overlib It's quite nice, VERY flexible and can be used independent of any particular AJAX platform.
Telerik seems to have the mojo in this area, but since I assume you're looking for free...
The nicest ones appear to be jQuery plugins, like this one:

There is also this ASP.Net AJAX TooltipExtender:
http://weblogs.asp.net/cjdevos/archive/2008/03/29/asp-net-ajax-tooltipextender.aspx
I was able to make a pretty nice balloon popup using the PopupControlExtender from the ASP.Net AJAX Control Toolkit. You can specify the target control to invoke the popup, the control or div that contains the popup content, and you can also dynamically populate the content using an AJAX callback to a service method.
I recommend:
Pure JavaScript with Ajax capability:
Menucool Tooltip
ASP.NET version, with Ajax Load On Demand:
Menubasic Tooltip
If you don't need the Ajax feature, Menucool has a very easy-to-use CSS tooltip either.
One option is WZ_Tooltip. Most tooltips are basic javascript; you should not expect to find much in the way of .NET integrated tooltips, since there is not much reason to use it rather than just using a javascript.
Is it possible to change the graphics for the arrow down on the dropdownlist control, without having to create a custom control? I need all the normal properties, just want to style the arrow down a bit.
You can easily use custom graphics for any form element by using javascript and CSS, please see for examples:

You can use third party controls, but if you are looking to change the look of your standard tools that would not be very possible, since those are derived from the standard controls of the operating system.
There a third party controls that can help you do that.
Nice to meet you. I developed Windows application with VisualStudio so far.
It was these days and has begun to do the Web application.
Therefore there is a question, but will there be UI which added a select box and text box in HTML?
Though it can choose some choices, it is a thing to have the direct input if there does not have it.
It is the guy who seems to be the URL input area of a place saying in FireFox and IE.
A past history appears here with a list like a select box and can input it directly.
When there was such a demand, how should it have been settled?
Will it be a feeling to arrange a select box and text box?
If your using ASP.NET Ajax check out the AJAX Control Toolkit ("ACT"), it has a ComboBox control. Very easy to use and a demo online here.
What you need to learn about are ASP.NET User Controls; these are custom components wherein you can combine standard ASP.NET controls in one component and use them for your ASP.NET application.
Sounds like you want a ComboBox control, but is this for ASP.Net or Winforms?
What is the best way to build a dynamic Threaded ASP.net radio button list? I am not that familiar with RadioButtonLists and it is my understanding that ASP.net doesn't like the application of individual styling of ListItems.
Well, why not use the RadioButtonList control, with a ReapeatDirection="Horizontal"?
Threaded like hierarchical and in a tabbed format? You are going to have to build a custom control if you are looking for this kind of functionality; it isn't available really easily out of the box. The list controls aren't the greatest for extending out of the box unfortunately.
