   {
      return base.Add(valu         


        

Answer 1

If you want a collection in which you'd want to override your Add/Insert or Indexer then you could create your own collection that would inherit from:

Collection

and override the following methods:

InsertItem();
SetItem();

the first one is called by Add() and Insert(), while the second is called by this[]

The List Add can not be overriden since the collection is made for perfomance, thus the overriding possibility is intentionally removed
