Hello Duy,
The standard asp DropDownList control cannot can not be configured to display even the plain [browser] tooltip due to having OPTION elements in its HTML representation and the OPTION element is not a real HTML object.
Tooltipifying a RadComboBox, however, is possible and pretty easy and I recommend to use it instead - you can find detailed information about possible approaches here.

Hi Duy,
Did you read the article I provided and did you test the demo project attached there? The first approach is exactly what you are asking for - in order to achieve the desired behavior you should simply put a RadToolTip control in the Item Template of the RadComboBox as shown below:
If you still experience problems, please provide a more detailed explanation of the problem itself.
