There doesn't seem to be a .Show() kind of method for the Windows.Control.ToolTip, incl in ToolTipService.

What you need to do is make sure the ToolTip on the control is of type ToolTip. Then you can set the IsOpen property to true like so:
ToolTip tooltip = new ToolTip{ Content = "My Tooltip" };
NameTextBox.ToolTip = tooltip;
tooltip.IsOpen = true;
Finally i ended with this .. and it's working fantastic ..
Popup myPopup = new Popup();
myPopup.PlacementTarget = control; //FrameworkElement where you want to show this tooltip
myPopup.Placement = PlacementMode.Top;
myPopup.PopupAnimation = PopupAnimation.Slide;
myPopup.AllowsTransparency = true;
TextBlock popupText = new TextBlock();
popupText.Text = ErrorMessage; //Message you want to show
popupText.Background = Brushes.AliceBlue;
popupText.Foreground = Brushes.Red;
//popupText.FontSize = 12;
popupText.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
myPopup.Child = popupText;
// popup1.CustomPopupPlacementCallback =
// new CustomPopupPlacementCallback(placePopup);
//myPopup.HorizontalOffset = control.ActualWidth - popupText.ActualWidth;
control.ToolTip = myPopup;
myPopup.IsOpen = true;
myPopup.StaysOpen = false;
