Create Dynamic Tooltip on Custom DropDownList in ASP.Net MVC



Description:-


In this example we explain that how to Display Dynamic Tool tip on Custom Dropdown list item in mvc4 or create Tooltip for each item of the custom dropdownlist in asp.net with mvc.

That was the real requirement when I was worked in one project and in which the requirement is that I have an Html.DropdownList() and the select list has an item whose text is really very long, but the width of the list truncates or delete the text. I want the tooltip to show the full text so end user can easily read the item in Dropdownlist and understand properly.

So that is nice article and also usefull for you if you have long item text that you want to bind to Dropdownlist then use this example with attractive and dynamic tooltip facility in mvc application.
