quantitative - Black Scholes differential


I'm studying a BS derivation and I don't understand one part .We have a portfolio consisting of Δ(t)S(t)+B(t) where the first term is risky and the second is a riskless bond. The part i don't understand is why when we take the differential of this portfolio we obtain: ΔdS+dB. I understand the reason is related to the fact that this is the limit of a discrete model, so we can imagine Δ as a function of t with more steps of lenght Δt so in the limit Δt0. But this would mean that ΔS=0 that is 2OS2=0 where O is the derivative. Could anyone explain me this passage?
