The easiest way to do this is to decorate your ASP.NET controls with CSS classes, say has-tooltip, then use a jQuery selector on the class to invoke the plugin.

<asp:Label ID="MyLabel" runat="server"
           CssClass="has-tooltip"
           ToolTip="This provides some help..."
           Text="Label" />
<asp:TextBox ID="MyTB" runat="server"
             CssClass="has-tooltip"
             ToolTip="Enter your text here." />

Then in your scripts — either injected or in mark up.

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(function() {
       $('.has-tooltip').tooltip(); // invoke plugin on all elements with class
   });
</script>
