Override add on bindinglist

[Ste]

Good morning,
I have a bindinglist of my custom objects and need to check, before
adding items, if an item exists in list and then cancel inserting.

I have tried to create an object that inherits from
bindinglist<mycustomobject> but I cannot override Add method.

This because this bindinglist is a datasource for a datagrid and need to
avoid to insert duplicated instances.

Thanks.
Stefano.

You shouldn't override Add, you should override the protected
InsertItem method. It will be called for any operation that inserts a
new item into the list, be it Add or Insert.

Ok, but now I have tried to override EndNew method to find in the
innerlist if item was inserted (because only when I commit I have all
data to use for search) and then cancel it using CancelNew. The problem
is that ItemIndex parameter is alwais -1.

Thank you.
Stefano.
