Question

I have around 60 controls and I want to show a tooltip for each of them.

I could do this manually but I want something that would allow me to make changes to the tooltip messages or the control they are bound to without modyfing the code (I don’t know what this would be called).

I thought about XML, but is there a better to store simple data like this?

I would recommend a custom configuration section. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2tw134k3.aspx. Then all you have to change are the values in the config file. You could even reference it as a separate file as to not clutter up your web.config.
