To show: $X:=(1,\partial_SC)$$X:=(1,-\partial_SC)$ is a self-financing portfolio:
$$X\text{ self-financing}\leftrightarrow dX_t=adC_t+bdS_t\,\forall t\geq0$$
Let $C(S_t,t)\in C^2$, then by toIto formula:
$$dC=\partial_tCdt+\partial_sCdS+\frac{1}{2}\sigma^2S_t^2\partial_{SS}Cdt=\partial_SCdS_t+(\partial_tC+\frac{1}{2}\sigma^2S_t^2\partial_{SS}C)dt$$
Let $C(S_t,t)$ satisfy the BS-PDE in discounted form: $$\partial_tC+\frac{1}{2}\partial_{SS}C\sigma^2S^2=0$$
(Undiscounted form is $\partial_tC+\frac{1}{2}\sigma^2S^2\partial_{SS}C=rC-rS\partial_S C$).
Plugged in: $$dC=\partial_SCdS$$
So we get:
$$dX=adC+bdS=1dC-\partial_SCdS=\partial_SCdS-\partial_SCdS=0$$$$dX=adC+bdS=1dC-\partial_SCdS=\partial_SCdS-\partial_SCdS=0\,\,\forall t$$
So we have a riskless portfolio which satisfies the self-financing condition. (q.e.d.)
