Hi,

 it seems that grid.GetState() and FilterDescriptors, contains +1 "dummy" object.

- If it is by design, ok, BUT then, how to bind this filter descriptor to the ie TelerikFilter? = It displays that dummy object as it is, and confusing end users. Or how to "identify 100%" that is some kind of dummy value to be trashed?

How to reproduce:

1 run the repl demo

2 put "a" into the first colum(Name) filter

3 click button and observe the content of filter descriptors(serialized below the grid - RED is wrong, Green is expected as ok)

similar, but not the same(iam came from here):

Thanks for the tip, clarification, or removing that redundant values.
