c# - How to create a custom collection in .NET 2.0

Hi I want to create my custom collection, I am deriving my custom collection class from CollectionBase class as below:

public class MyCollection : System.Collectio.CollectionBase
{
    MyCollection(){}
    public void Add(MyClass item)
    {
        this.List.Add(item);
    }
}

class MyClass
{
    public string name;
}

Let me ask a few questions:

  1. Whether this approach is correct and new, as I working on .NET 3.5 framework.
  2. I want to expose this collection from my web service ( WCF) .How can I do that?
  3. Do I have to implement GetEnumerator?
  4. Whether this will Bind to DataGridView.

Deriving from List<T> is somewhat pointless, especially now that it has the IEnumerable<T> constructor and the availability of extension methods. It has no virtual methods that you can override except Equals, GetHashCode, and ToString. (I suppose you could derive from List<T> if your goal was to implement Java's toString() functionality for lists.)

If you want to create your own strongly-typed collection class and possibly customize the collection behavior when items are add/removed, you want to derive from the new (to .NET 2.0) type System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<T>, which has protected virtual methods including InsertItem and RemoveItem that you can override to perform actions at those times. Be sure to read the documentation - this is a very easy class to derive from but you have to realize the difference between the public/non-virtual and protected/virtual methods. :)

public class MyCollection : Collection<int>
{
    public MyCollection()
    {
    }

    public MyCollection(IList<int> list)
        : base(list)
    {
    }

    protected override void ClearItems()
    {
        // TODO: validate here if necessary
        bool canClearItems = ...;
        if (!canClearItems)
            throw new InvalidOperationException("The collection cannot be cleared while _____.");

        base.ClearItems();
    }

    protected override void RemoveItem(int index)
    {
        // TODO: validate here if necessary
        bool canRemoveItem = ...;
        if (!canRemoveItem)
            throw new InvalidOperationException("The item cannot be removed while _____.");

        base.RemoveItem(index);
    }
}
