+## Description
+
+In the following example, we will demonstrate how you can add a vertical separator in the RadMenu control.
+
+## Solution
+
+To add a vertical separator to a RadMenu, use the `RadMenuSeparatorItem` class. You can customize the separator's orientation. The following code snippet demonstrates how to insert a vertical separator item between RadMenuItems upon form load. Ensure to adjust the index in the `Items.Insert` method according to where you want to place the separator in your menu.
+
+````C#
+private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
+{
+    var menuSeparatorItem = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadMenuSeparatorItem();
+
+    menuSeparatorItem.Name = "myPanel_Menu_Sep1";
+    menuSeparatorItem.SeparatorOrientation = Telerik.WinControls.SepOrientation.Vertical;
+    menuSeparatorItem.BackColor = Color.Red;
+    menuSeparatorItem.ShouldPaint = true;
+    menuSeparatorItem.TextVisibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Visible;
+    radMenu1.Items.Insert(1, menuSeparatorItem);
+}
+````
+
+This approach allows you to dynamically add a vertical separator to your RadMenu, enhancing the menu's visual structure and organization.
