My asp.net web application is written in C#.
On many websites, I have seen small hyperlinks next to a form field that says "what's this?"
When you click it, a small help dialogue box pops up and continues to be visible so long as you hold your mouse over the link. It's usually a dialogue explaining what that part of the form is asking for.
How do I do this?

You can do this either asp.net way or using jquery

I tried searching but can't find any answer to my inquiry.
Here goes.
I want to change the GUI of the checkbox in a CheckBoxList, using asp.net and C#.
For example, I would like to see a ([] unchecked state) ([x]checked state)
instead of the standard checkbox.
1.Is this doable in C# asp.net, webform?
I've found a tutorial on WPF Styles and Control Templates, but this is all new to me, it
says I have to use MS Silverlight, and coding within the control template of an .xaml file.
2.Is this the only solution?
3.I've noticed how to add tags while writing down my question, can someone tell me how this is implemented? (This is the end result I had in mind)
Due to spam prevention, I can't post images, please see link:

Thanks for your time.
There could be various ways depending on what and how you want to achieve the effect.
1. CSS
2. Custom control from scratch
3. JQuery

Is someone know any .NET Winform control which look like this button control?
QPushButton:
http://zetcode.com/gui/csharpqyoto/layoutmanagement/
You have several options here. You aren't specific about exactly which part of the platform you are using, but if using Winforms, you can certainly customize the buttons to some extent.
If you are using WPF, you can pretty much make it look exactly like you want in XAML. Check out Expression Blend.
As #Dimitri put it, the sky is the limit, but you may need to do the leg work.
You can create custom controls according your need and have its reference added to your project. you will have it added to your toolbox that you can use.
If you are refering to a button that is located on this example form:
We currently finishing our own application that has rather similar looking buttons. We did this by using a third party component. Steps are:
We purchased DevExpress.com's WinForms library.
We developed our own DevExpress Skin (with the help of an external screen design guy)
This was a bit of a work and some amount of money but the results look pretty neat.
Being horrible at the design end, I tried creating the above code and it looked horrible. I still did not figure out how to create the tabbed look and move between screens.
Any leads or help with this would appreciated... I am not looking for the entire work, but just how do I create that white space when a tab is selected with the options in them.
Any other information required, I would be happy to reply.
Thank you
PS: The problem is solved...thank you
Why don't you use Tab Control of Windows Forms? Do you need to create it yourself?

In my Windows phone7 application I load some data from a XML feed. Some of them are links to Web pages. I used textblocks to display data. In my previous LINK I found how to open web page in HyperlinkButton.
But I cant use that way because HyperLinkButton doesn't have TextWrapping property and those links are lengthy. I need to show entire link and once user click the link, need to access the corresponding web page.
It would be great if someone can Suggest a way to achieve this. Thanks inadvance
While there could be a way around showing the entire link, lemme ask you this .. do you want to? How about just saying "Click 'here' ..." or something & let the user tap on it for navigation?
Please see some of the design guidelines for using the HyperLinkButton here.
Hope this helps!
I am making an ASP.NET application. I have a page which displays a list of data [as a GridView].
I need to display a list of objects [as a GridView] in a new view over the current view, not a new window but a kind of AJAX popup, so that the context shiftes on the page to the new view/form!!
Shall i use Modal Window for this? If so, how shall I do it, as the function to open the modal shall be fired when an item of the GridView is selected?
Is there any plugin which can simplify my task?
You could always try the ASP.net Ajax Control Toolkit
http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/samples/modalpopup/modalpopup.aspx
It supported by the ASP.net team and it's really easy to use!
There is a good plugin called blockUI for jQuery that will let you achieve this quite easily.
You can use it to show any HTML that you desire or even load an iFrame using that. You can download this plugin and find examples here
http://jquery.malsup.com/block/
If you post some sample code I can probably help you create your modal pop up!
Please do vote up my answer or mark the checkbox next to it, if I helped you at all. Thanks :)
