I initialize a list view in the ini handler of a bootbox.dialog (http://bootboxjs.com/examples.html) from a button in a grid:
$("#listview").kendoListView({...
The content of the dataSource is different from each grid row.
This initialization happen every time the button is clicked.
Can/Should I initialize only once and just update the dataSource.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Morten

Hello Morten,
If the dialog window is not destroyed on closing and if the ListView will have the same templates and configuration for each record, you should be able to only change the dataSource of one single ListView. If the ListView is retrieving the data through AJAX requests you can pass additional data in the "transport.read.data" as function and when the dialog is displayed for different row, you can just call the "read" method of the dataSource to trigger a new request with the additional data for that row:
Nevertheless, if the dialog is destroyed on close, there will be no noticeable downside of initializing new instance each time.
