I am working with a UltraWinGrid which has an attached UltraDataSource. Im using vb.NET to develop my application. My problem is that I cannot find an easy way to check if a row exists within the rows collection of either the WinGrid or the DataSource.

To add a new row to the datasource im using the following code:-

Dim o = New Object()  {False, emailImage, status}
dsDocuments.Rows.Add(o)

This will add the row to the datasource and the wingrid fine, however some of the rows which I will add contain duplicate data and I need a way to detect if the data already exists so I can cancel the row being added. I have tried using the following to no avail:-

If  Not (dsDocuments.Rows.Contains(o)) Then
      dsDocuments.Rows.Add(o)
End If

However the compiler shows an error as the array cannot be converted to an gridrow or a datasourcerow. I have tried using the events raised (rowadding & rowadded) and still cannot find a solution.

Is there an easy way to check if a duplicate row exists without looping through each row?

Thanks
