Displaying popup - asp.net

I have a string in a masterpage which I have to display as a pop up in my application. Any suggestions?

You can try http://www.javascript-coder.com/window-popup/javascript-popup-window.phtml or go with Built in AJAX capabilities.

This a pretty vague question. There is a lot of possibilities.
You can do that in Javascript. I use some jQuery to do this kind of stuff, there is a lot of possibilities using jQuery

Loading content from server without postback

I have a div and inside that I need to show a slide of divs. On the page load there would be only 3 div slides but when all three divs are displayed on the next button press I want to load some more divs (actually I have data on a sql database, I need to get them and print on the page a slide divs) on each next button press. (Asp.net)
How do I achieve this? what's the best way? Ajax, javascript, jquery. Show me a way.
Thank you.
There could be many possiblities but you can use asp.net update panel avialable in ASP.net ajax control toolkit, it will be easy for you to integrate and you need to do very small work at your end.
The other option is using jQuery ajax it could reletively more efficent and gives you more control but it will require good javascript/ jQuery skills. This tutorial is good starting point for using jQuery ajax with asp.net.

Custom tooltip on Controls

I wanted to use a similar tooltip as is displayed when we over the videos on this ASP.NET Ajax site.

Which control is this? Is it the animation control?
How to use a similar tootlip on my controls?
It's possibly the Popup Control from the Ajax Control Toolikit, but not necessarily. This is very simple to do with css and javascript using a hidden div element and a mouseover event.
There's some sample code you can use here: http://www.willmaster.com/blog/css/floating-layer-at-cursor-position.php
There are a lot of Jquery plug-ins that will do similar things.
Here's an example of one - http://code.drewwilson.com/entry/tiptip-jquery-plugin

How is the name of this feature?

I wanna have, when a user clicks an button, the screen should go black and in the middle should be a new webpage.
I know this is very often used for Images, but I know it is possible with webpages too.

Are you talking about a "Lightbox" effect ?

ASP.NET AJAX Toolkit has the ModalPopup control,
Or can use many jquery plugins (ThickBox for example).

Any suggestions for a nice ASP.NET Ajax tooltip?

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:
http://rndnext.blogspot.com/2009/02/jquery-ajax-tooltip.html
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.

Scrollable Grid (Yahoo email like)

I was wondering if anyone knew of a scrollable gridview control that works similar to the yahoo email gridview.
If I were to guess, I'd say it's a highly customized YUI DataTable, so that might be worth checking out.
If you are using jquery I recommend jqgrid.
There is a nice grid component in extjs too.
And if you are looking for ASP.NET AJAX grid solution with yahoo-like scrolling, the Telerik grid may give you Yahoo-like deferred scrolling. Check out this demo on their site.

DHX's dhtmlxGrid control will do that as well. The basic edition is free.
They've got examples with 50,000 records, with and without paging.
