Can't open Telerik Kendo window twice - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have a Kendo window which is defined as follows:
With Html.Kendo().Window().Name("tranferwindow")
.Title("Select Transfer Destination")
.Content("")
.Resizable()
.Modal(True)
.Events(Function(events) events.Open("WindowToCenter"))
.Events(Function(events) events.Refresh("transferopen"))
.Draggable()
.Width(400)
.Visible(False)
.Render()
End With
The window is opened each time by using the refresh and passing a new URL.This is to allow dynamic data to be displayed dependent on what the user clicked on a grid.
function transferitem(e) {
var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
wwindow.data("kendoWindow").open(); //Display waiting window while refresh happens
var twindow = $("#tranferwindow")
twindow.data("kendoWindow").refresh('/Home/TransferList?agentid=' + agentid + '&tenantid=' + tenantid + '&SessionID=' + dataItem.MediaID);
}
The Window is opened at the end of the refresh event to make sure the user doesn't see the previous content.
function transferopen() {
wwindow.data("kendoWindow").close(); //Close the 'wait' window
var twindow = $("#tranferwindow")
twindow.data("kendoWindow").center().open();
}
This all works well and the window can be closed and reopened as often as I like.
However I needed to access the resize event of the window from within the Partial View to resize the Grid which is inside the window. To achieve this I added the following to the partial view that is returned from the url.
$("#tranferwindow").kendoWindow({
resize: function (e) {
// resizeGrid();
}
});
Adding this event mapping causes the issue where I cannot open the Window more than once.
I assume I need to 'unregister' for the event somehow before closing?

Found a solution: much cleaner and no VB Razor needed :)
I changed the approach to create a new window each time I wanted to display one.
I created a div to hold the Window.
<div id="windowcontainer"></div>
Then when the user selected a command on the grid , I create the whole window appending it to the div. The key here is the this.destroy in the deactivate event.
function transferitem(e) {
var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
$("#windowcontainer").append("<div id='tranferwindow'></div>");
var mywindow = $("#tranferwindow")
.kendoWindow({
width: "400px",
title: "Select Transfer Destination",
visible: false,
content: '/Home/TransferList?agentid=' + agentid + '&tenantid=' + tenantid + '&SessionID=' + dataItem.MediaID,
deactivate: function () {
this.destroy();
},
open: WindowToCenter,
refresh:transferopen
}).data("kendoWindow");
mywindow.refresh();
}
Then on the refresh function
function transferopen() {
var twindow = $("#tranferwindow")
twindow.data("kendoWindow").center().open();
}
Now I can have the event binding inside the Partial View which works fine and the window can be re opened as many times as I want. :)
Update: Adding the event binding inside the Partial View stops 'Modal' from working. Working on trying to fix this...
