That is indeed a valid method and we don`t plan on changing this.

If you need a more explicit way of retrieving the data item, there is another interface that exists, one that goes through the DataRow`s DataGridContext.

DataGridContext rowContext = DataGridControl.GetDataGridContext( dataRow );

object dataItem = rowContext.GetItemFromContainer( dataRow );

The main advantage of this method is that you can pass ANY UI element that is part of the VisualTree of the Row or Cell to the GetItemFromContainer() method and that the appropriate Data Item will be returned.
