Problem with adding and refreshing

[Atrocity]

This may be a stupid question, but I'm fairly new at this.

Anyway I have this form where I display data from my database. I use a generic list for this.

I also have an area on the same form where I can add items to my database. So when I click my Save button I also want to clear the generic and 'recall' the data, so the things I added will also be displayed.

However this won't work when put all the code for this in the Save button. I can add things to the database, but refreshing the data doesn't work.
When I use a second button, with which I clear the generic list and recall the data, after I added something, it does work.

Is there a way to do all this with the same button?

EDIT: Welcome to the vbforums! This is a great place to seek help and learn by some great examples, unlike mine below.

Are you using a dataset to load the data?

 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       
  SaveData()

  RefreshData()

End Sub


Private Sub SaveData
       If Not Me.GetConnection Then Exit Sub
       Me.DataAdapter.Update(Me.DataSet)
       Me.SqlConnection1.Close()
End Sub 


Private Sub RefreshData()
        Me.Dataset.Clear()
        'open connection
        If Not Me.GetConnection Then Exit Sub
        Me.DataAdapter.Fill(Me.Dataset)
        Me.SqlConnection1.Close()
End Sub

Regardless of how you're doing it, you need to do your save procedure and clear out where ever you're storing your data, Then Call a procedure to Clear the data and reselect it.

No I don't use a dataset.

Let me show you my form to make things more clear. Some of it is in dutch, but the marked data is what I get from my database.



This is how is load data

Public Sub dataOproepen()

        Dim sqlCmd As String
        sqlCmd = "SELECT * FROM tbl_program WHERE Maand = '" & Now.Month & "' ORDER BY Dag ASC"
        Dim adapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sqlCmd, "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OlEDB.4.0; Data source=" & My.Settings.database)
        Dim table As New DataTable

        adapter.Fill(table)

        Dim teller As Integer

        For teller = 0 To table.Rows.Count - 1
            Dim dr As DataRow = table.Rows(teller)
            Dim J As New Program_Class

            J.aantalKM = dr.Item(1)
            J.aantalM = dr.Item(2)
            J.dag = dr.Item(3)
            J.maand = dr.Item(4)
            J.jaar = dr.Item(5)
            J.weekdag = dr.Item(6)

            If J.jaar = Now.Year Then
                If J.dag >= Now.Day Then
                    ProgramLijst.Add(J)
                End If
            End If
        Next

        'What I use to fill in the labels
        invullen()
End Sub

What this form basicly does, is show the first upcoming date, and then the next one.

As you can see the next date the 28th. What I want to do is when I add a new item with as date the 27th of februari, that it would show this as the next program.

This is the code for the save button.

Private Sub btnOpslaan_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOpslaan.Click
        
        datum = DateTimePicker1.Value

        Dim dag As String

        dag = DateAndTime.Day(datum)

        Dim p As New Program_Class


        p.SaveProgram(dag, Month(datum), Year(datum), datum.ToString("dddd"), numericKM.Value, numericMeter.Value)

        'my generic list
        ProgramLijst.Clear()

        dataoproepen()

    End Sub

The clearing of the generic list and reloading the data is what doesn't work. However if I put that code in a different button it does work.
