I am overriding the OnAddNew in my Editable Child Collection

Protected Overrides Function OnAddNew() As Object

      Dim itm As Child = Child.NewChild(0)
      list.Add(itm)
      Return itm

End Function

How can I make it work with a grid that it should get the new item from the new line in the grid?

Before the list.Add, you'll need to raise the OnAddingNew event.

Also, you'll need to make sure that the collection, the bindingsource, and the grid all have theirAllowNew properties set to true.

What I want to do is when I enter a item in the new row and press Enter, it should automatically be added to the collection without having to call a function in the business object, how can this be done?

If you follow all the steps I have outlined, this is exactly what you'll get.

The grid will handle calling AddNew for you.
