Answer 1

You can go simple.
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}">
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<ToolTip>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock>
<Run Text="{Binding AuthorName}"/>
<Run Text=" "/>
<Run Text="{Binding NumberOfBooks}"/>
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock MaxWidth="150"
Text="{Binding Description}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</StackPanel>
</ToolTip>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
</TextBlock>
Or get fancy.
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}">
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<ToolTip>
<StackPanel>
<Border Background="CadetBlue" Margin="5" Padding="5">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding AuthorName}" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding NumberOfBooks, StringFormat='No. of Books: \{0\}'}"/>
<TextBlock MaxWidth="150"
Text="{Binding Description}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</StackPanel>
</ToolTip>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
</TextBlock>
Hope this helps :)
