GridView control didn't update or dissapeared. What gives?

This is a common issue even with the DataGrid control. PostBack is invoked and your GridView doesn't update or, in some cases, disappears. All you need to do is force the GridView to bind to its datasource by calling the DataBind() method, GridView.DataBind(), where GridView is the placeholder for the control ID of the GridView control.
