[FONT=&quot]Hi,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I am working on vsto addin which uses ListObject to create table. This ListObject is binded to a List<> collection and the data shows up fine. The problem is, when user adds a new row in the table by using Right Click->Insert->Table Row Above/Below, It does not add a new entry in datasource. To fix this, I am handling worksheet change event and then check if new row is inserted or not. If its inserted, I will Undo the change and I am adding a new entry in the List<> datasource. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]This is how I am doing it:
[/FONT]

Code:
[COLOR=#000000]vstoListObject[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600].[/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]Disconnect[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600]();[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]
[/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]Globals[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600].[/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]ThisAddIn[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600].[/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]Application[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600].[/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]Undo[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600]();[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]
[/COLOR][COLOR=#000088]var[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] newEntry [/COLOR][COLOR=#666600]=[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#000088]new[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]MyClassObject[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600]();[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]
[/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]DataSource[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600].[/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]Insert[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]index[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600],[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] newEntry[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600]);[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]
vstoListObject[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600].[/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]SetDataBinding[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600]([/COLOR][COLOR=#660066]DataSource[/COLOR][COLOR=#666600]);[/COLOR]

[FONT=&quot]For some reason, SetDataBinding is failing and it throws error. This is the error[/FONT]
