Telerik provides for getting the filtered items indirectly by applying the filter from the RadGridView to the collection that the control is bound to.

Here is a solution that allows one to get a filtered, sorted list of data items using the current filter and sort settings from a Telerik RadGridView control.

using Telerik.Windows.Data;
.
.
.
IEnumerable<MyClass> itemsToDisplay { get; set; }  //The RadGridView is bound to this property

public void DoSomethingWithFilteredAndSortedDisplayItems(RadGridView rgv)
{
    IQueryable<MyClass> iqItems = itemsToDisplay.AsQueryable();
    FilterDescriptorCollection filter = rgv.FilterDescriptors;
    SortDescriptorCollection sort = rgv.SortDescriptors;
    List<MyClass> fsItems = iqItems.Where(filter).Sort(sort).ToIList() as List<MyClass>;

    if (fsItems != null && fsItems.Count > 0)
    {
        DoSomethingWithDisplayItems(fsItems);
    }
}

public void DoSomethingWithDisplayItems(IEnumerable<MyClass> list)
{
    ... //Do something
}

This is for illustration. In my own code I implement the filter and sort as an extension method for the RadGridView control.
