Under VB6, the list area of a DataList or DataCombo control can be bound the control to a data source – an ADODC control or an ADODB.Recordset, for example. Not only is the list are automatically filled, also any change in the data source (e.g. a record being added or removed) is immediately reflected in the list area.

VB Migration Partner supports automatic filling of the list area, but the DataList and DataCombo controls don’t automatically refresh when the data source is changed. For this reason it is necessary that you manually update the control’s list area by invoking the Refresh method. You can insert the call to Refresh in the VB6 source code, for example using an InsertStatement pragma:

        ' The  DataList1 control’s list area is bound to the RS recordset.
        rs.Delete
        '## InsertStatement ' we need an explicit Refresh statement here
        '## InsertStatement DataList1.Refresh
