    I basically want to use the Tool / ToolTipified Grid from the Telerik, I followed pretty much the same instructions with a bit of differences in ascx.  But it gave me the error:

    RadToolTipManager response error:
    Exception=Sys.WebForms.PageRequetManagerServerErrorException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    And the tooltip fires but content is not populated.

    Below are my codes:

    Default.aspx

    Hello Pei,

    The code snippet you have pasted seems to be correct. What I can suggest is to first remove all the ajax settings and set debug="true" in the Web.config. This will show what causes the server error and you will be able to see which exact element is null. After that you can set a breakpoint and debug the server code.

    Sincerely yours,
