Get MS_Description for a column

[Fabio]

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to get a sql db column  MS_Description as a column name tooltip  from the standard object used to describe a grid element:

columns.Bound(p => p.Country).Title("Country").Visible(true);

Hi Fabio,

In order to set the Kendo UI Tooltip to a property of an object (Db column), I would recommend the following:

• Set the column that should take the tooltip. Add a custom class, that will help for the filtering of the tooltip:
  

  columns.Bound(p => p.ShipCity).HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "forTooltips" });

• Define the Tooltip for the Grid and use the class of the column from above as a filter:
  

  @(Html.Kendo().Tooltip()
        .For("#grid")
        .Filter(".forTooltips")
        .ContentHandler("getRatingTooltip")
        .Position(TooltipPosition.Right)
        .AutoHide(false)
  )

• The ContentHandler of the Tooltip will execute a JavaScript function ("getRatingTooltip" in the example). In the function handler, get and return the needed property of the object. It will be set as a Tooltip out of the box. The property doesn't need to be visible in the Grid by default. Here is an example of the function handler:
  

      function getRatingTooltip(e) {
          var dataItem = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataItem(e.target.closest("tr"));
          var content = dataItem.ShipName;
          return content;
      }

Find attached a sample project with the needed implementations included. 

After making the needed tests locally, let me know if further assistance is needed.

Kind Regards,
