Public Class dataitem
    Public Sub New(text As String)
        Me.text = text
    End Sub
    Public Property text As String

The DataRepeater has to have its DataSource property set for AddNew to work. It's designed to be data bound.

You can set the dataSource to a list of objects. Then whenever you add to the list, the dataRepeater will automatically show the new items.

Example:

Public Class dataitem
 Public Sub New(text As String)
  Me.text = text
 End Sub
 Public Property text As String
End Class

Public Class Form1
 Public Sub New()
  InitializeComponent()
  Dim data As New List(Of dataitem)
  data.Add(New dataitem("test1"))
  data.Add(New dataitem("test2"))
  DataRepeater1.DataSource = data
 End Sub
End Class
