Hi Web Services,

 I examined your code but I am afraid that it is a lot, there are many tooltips and thus I am not completleuy sure that I understood you correctly. As far as I understood from your code and explanations, the RadToolTip with ID toolTip is not showing when you set Visible="true" on the srever. If so, this is expected, since the Visible property is actually inherited from teh WebControl class and not implemented for the tooltip. In order to show a RadToolTip from the server you should use on of the following approaches:

1) Show teh tooltip by calling its server method Show as shown below:

toolTip.Show()

2) Inject a script from the server which opens the tooltip on the client by uisng show(). More information about executing script from the server is available below:

http://blogs.telerik.com/blogs/posts/09-05-05/executing_javascript_function_from_server-side_code.aspx

Please, try the above suggestions and if you still need assistance, isolate the problem in a very simple reproduction demo which does not include all this unrelated code, db connections etc and share it along with detailed reproduction steps and explanations. Make syre that the posted code could be directly run as a page without any modifications. Once I am able to recreate the setup locally, I will do my best to help.

So I have tried using the tooltip.show method. It works fine but the positioning is way off. In Firefox it looks fine but in IE 8 it is clear off of the screen and in ie 7 it is at the bottom left. Do you have any ideas on how I can make the position more uniform.
<telerik:RadToolTip ID="toolTip" Skin="Web20"
                                                Position="Center" runat="server" Height="50" Width="150"
                                                RelativeTo="BrowserWindow" HideDelay="25">
                                                </telerik:RadToolTip>

Hello Web Services,

 What I can suggest without having a fully runnable page which I can examine is to try whether setting RenderInPageRoot="true" fixes the issue. In case this does not help, please provide source code which is fully runnable and reproduces the issue and once you share it here, I will make a sample demo based on it, examine it on my side and I will do my best to help.

On a side note, you can also try to reproduce the issue in our demos, e.g in the following one:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/tooltip/examples/relativeto/defaultcs.aspx

If you succeed in reproducing teh problem in the demo, it is not needed to share sample code, just let me know what are the exact reproduction steps and explain in details teh actual and teh desired result and I will assist you resolve the problem.
