I'm using VS2010 .Net 4.0 and VB. I downloaded a small project I found on here that is supposed to demonstrate how to launch a radWindow so that it doesn't get stuck in the opening frame. It was called Frameset.zip. It was in C# but since there wasn't any server code converting it to VB was no big deal. Bottom line is it doesn't work. Every time I push the button to launch the radWindow I get the error:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method
on the line:
top.radopen("http://www.google.com", "RadWindow1")
If I move:
<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" ScriptMode="Release" />
<telerik:RadWindowManager Modal="true" ID="Singleton" runat="server">
</telerik:RadWindowManager>
to frame1.aspx and change it to use window.radopen, the radWindow launches fine but it's stuck in the frame.
Here are my pages:

I believe that the sample that you have found was for RadWindow for ASP.NET (1.x), am I right?
Basically, there shouldn't be anything else in the frameset page, apart from the frameset itself. In ASP.NET 1.x / 2.0, it was possible to put a server control in the frameset page and to work with it. That is why it was possible to put a RadWindowManager in it and when the RadWindow was shown, it would have been displayed over the frameset.
ASP.NET AJAX however is much more "strict" regarding this issue and the framework does not recognize any other controls in the frameset page - that is why the scenario is not working with RadWindow for ASP.NET AJAX. This is a general framework issue and is not related to the RadWindow control - you will experience the same problem with any other standard control.
The only workaround that may be applied in this case (i.e. when using the ASP.NET AJAX framework) is to use another page that would contain the frameset page in an IFRAME. This way you can have the RadWindowManager in this topmost page, along with an IFRAME (with width and height set to 100%) that loads the frameset page. On the other hand, such setup would make the project logic much more complex, so I would not recommend it.
