VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraToolbox

' Add a single group using the Add method.
toolboxControl1.Groups.Add(New ToolboxGroup("Group"))

' Add a range of groups using the AddRange method.
Dim group1 As New ToolboxGroup("First Group")
Dim group2 As New ToolboxGroup("Second Group")
toolboxControl1.Groups.AddRange(New ToolboxGroup() {group1, group2})

To add items to a particular group, use the ToolboxGroup.Items collection.
