Can I add tooltiptext to a select button in a datagrid?

Yes, in ItemDataBound, get a reference to the button & just do it!

Dim b as Button
b = CType(e.Item.Cells(0).Controls(1), Button)
b.ToolTip = "Tooltip created at " & Now.ToString()

Sample assumes button is in 1st column & is 2nd item in column (as a button
would be in a tempate column since it gets wrapped in a 'literal' (ie DIV))
