The MenuGroup class has been removed for consistency with all Telerik navigational controls (treeview, tabstrip, combobox, etc.) and for API simplicity. Menu items now directly expose the Items collection, which may hold any number of child items.
Example
The ASPX code below shows a menu with two root items. The first root item has a child group consisting of three menu items:

|
<rad:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server">
<Items>
<rad:MenuItem runat="server" Text="Root MenuItem 1">
<Items>
<rad:MenuItem runat="server”Text="Child MenuItem 1.1" />
<rad:MenuItem runat="server" Text="Child MenuItem 1.2" />
<rad:MenuItem runat="server" Text="Child MenuItem 1.3" />
</Items>
</rad:MenuItem>
<rad:MenuItem runat="server" Text="Root MenuItem 2" / >
</Items>
</rad:RadMenu> |
Even though the MenuGroup class is gone, child items do form a group of related items that share common settings. These settings can be set in the GroupSettings class, exposed as a property of each MenuItem. (Pic. 1)

Group settings defined using the Visual Studio design time are serialized declaratively as child tags of the respective parent MenuItem. Group settings apply to all children of the parent item.
Example

<rad:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server">
<Items>
<rad:MenuItem runat="server" Text="Root MenuItem 1">
<GroupSettings Flow="Horizontal" Height="100px" OffsetX="200" OffsetY="100" />
<Items>
<rad:MenuItem runat="server”Text="Child MenuItem 1.1" />
<rad:MenuItem runat="server" Text="Child MenuItem 1.2" />
<rad:MenuItem runat="server" Text="Child MenuItem 1.3" />
</Items>
</rad:MenuItem>
<rad:MenuItem runat="server" Text="Root MenuItem 2" / >
</Items>
</rad:RadMenu> |
