Case:  Create a full-screen event calendar that displays the events as a hyperlink, and displays the description of the event when the mouse hovers over the event link.

 

Issue:  ASP.NET 2.0's Calendar control displays a tooltip "Calendar" or "Databound Calendar" when the mouse hovers over the control.  Even if you set the Tooltip property to an empty string.

 

Resolution:  This has to do with the title attribute that asp.net sticks in there.  In the Page_Load event add the following: 

 

this.CalendarControlName.Attributes.Add("title", string.Empty);

 

Alternatively you can set the UseAccessibleHeader property of the control to false, but then screen readers would have a difficult time dealing with this.

I made it :)  and I am happy to say that my luggage actually arrived with me this time!  It is the end of a travel trend for me, where luggage usually arrives 2 days later.  The trip was pretty much uneventful, though it was an exruciating long day.  What a better way to end it but at the Party with Palermo event.  It was at a place called Jilians, and let me tell you the place was packed, you could barely walk around in there.  I wonder if it's legal to have so many geeks in such a small space ?  I met some people, played a bit of pool, then headed back to the hotel for the night.  Unfortunately at the room there was a horrible sound coming from the wind through the window, so I didn't do much sleeping at all.  It was VERY noisy, I casually named the thing making the noise George.  Maintenance came at about 2:30am to do some tightening of the window, but to no avail, it was quiet for 15 mins.  So at 4:00 am this morning I asked for a new room, gladly leaving George behind and grabbing a nap.

 

Here is some pictures of the events yesterday:
