My datagrid is dissapearing!

I am having problems using a Datagrid

I've followed many tutorials and as far as I can tell I'm doing everything I'm
supposed to.

1. I've created the HTML part of the datagrid (There's a little more to it but
there's no need to add it here):
<Columns>
<asp:EditCommandColumn ButtonType=&quot;LinkButton&quot; UpdateText=&quot;Update&quot;
CancelText=&quot;Cancel&quot; EditText=&quot;Edit&quot;></asp:EditCommandColumn>

<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;Grade&quot %>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<aspropdownlist runat=&quot;server&quot; id=&quot;Grade&quot; Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;Grade&quot %>'/> </EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>

2. I've created the VB code, and set up the SQL connection to the database:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If IsPostBack = True Then

Else
bindData()
End If
End Sub

Public Sub DataGrid1_edit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
DataGridCommandEventArgs)
DataGrid1.EditItemIndex = CInt(e.Item.ItemIndex)
DataGrid1.DataBind()
End Sub

Public Sub DataGrid1_Cancel(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
DataGridCommandEventArgs)
DataGrid1.EditItemIndex = -1
End Sub



Here's what happens: The table is set up, the information is put into the table
and the edit button is added onto the begining of each row. But when I press
&quot;Edit&quot; the entire table dissapears! Does anyone know why this happens?

I fixed this now. Basically the thing I keep forgetting to do no matter how many times I use datagrids is that I forget to bind my using postback properly. Like this:

If IsPostBack = True Then
Else
bindData()
End If
