Override Dictionary.Add

Question

I need to know how to override the Add-method of a certain Dictionary in a certain static class. Any suggestions?

If it matters, the dictionary looks like this:

Answer 1

It's actually simpler to use the "new" keyword. I do this often when my objects contain thier own unique ID value.

internal sealed class SomeDict : Dictionary
{
    public new void Add(myKeyType key, myObjectType value)
    {
        this.Add(value);
    }

    internal void Add(myObjectType value)
    {
        base.Add(value.Id, value);
    }

}
