AutoComplete and dynamic DataSource

It appears that once the DataSource is set for an AutoComplete (wired to a TextBox), the corresponding drop down list doesn't change.
In my case, the AutoComplete's DataSource is a DataView that changes frequently (rows get merged, filter changes, etc). Is there a way to keep the AutoComplete synched with the current state of the DataSource?

For example, if I have a DataView whose table has one row in it, then I set the AutoComplete's DataSource to that DataView, I only ever see the one row - even though the DataView may have more rows at some point.
I tried the RefreshColumns method (caused some exceptions). I wonder if re-setting the DataSource would work.

I see in an older post that the SetTableData method seems to be what I'm looking for.

Thanks all the same and Happy Holidays!
