I’m using a custom dropdownlist and binding elements dynamically, but here I want to show a tooltip message on every items of dropdown list.

View Code:
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Industry,Model.IndustryList, "All", new { @style = "width:258px;", @class = "drpDown" })
Controller code:
IEnumerable<SelectListItem> IndustryList= EntityModel<t>.Where(m => m.t == “something”).ToList().Select(c => new SelectListItem { Text = t.Name, Value = t.Value);

So let me know is there any way to set title on every option items within select tag.
