The problem I am running into here is that this takes away the abilty to sort the datagrid when the column is clicked on

To start with, do something like this:

<data:DataGrid>
    <data:DataGrid.Columns>
        <data:DataGridTextColumn Header="My Header">
            <data:DataGridTextColumn.HeaderStyle>
                <Style TargetType="dataprimitives:DataGridColumnHeader">
                    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <ContentControl Content="{Binding}">
                                    <ToolTipService.ToolTip>
                                        <ToolTip Content="My Tooltip"></ToolTip>
                                    </ToolTipService.ToolTip>
                                </ContentControl>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </Style>
            </data:DataGridTextColumn.HeaderStyle>
        </data:DataGridTextColumn>
    </data:DataGrid.Columns>
</data:DataGrid>

You'll need to add this namespace declaration too

xmlns:dataprimitives="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Primitives;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data"

As far making it dynamic, i'm not sure what you mean by that.. you could bind the text of the tooltip to some value, or even handle the opened event of the Tooltip, grab the tooltip's data context and then based on that decide what to put in the tooltip.

What is the best way to add a tooltip to a datagrid header in SL 3?

The tooltips need to be dynamic
