Creating SlidingZone Programmatically
You can create sliding panes dynamically in server-side code. To do this, you need to create RadSlidingZone controls and add them to the Controls collection of existing RadPane controls. Then create RadSlidingPane controls and add them to the Items collections of the RadSlidingZone controls.
The Items collections do not persist in the ViewState when you create the splitter controls in the code-behind. You need to recreate them on every postback!
Example
The example below demonstrates how to declare left and right sliding zones, containing two sliding panes each. Note that you can also create the RadSplitter programmatically instead of declaring it in the ASPX page.
<telerik:radsplitter id="RadSplitter1" runat="server" height="300" width="400">
<telerik:RadPane id="LeftPane" runat="server" Width="22" />
<telerik:RadSplitBar id="RadSplitBar1" runat="server" />
<telerik:RadPane id="MiddlePane" runat="server">Middle Pane</telerik:RadPane>
<telerik:RadSplitBar id="RadSplitBar2" runat="server" />
<telerik:RadPane id="RightPane" runat="server" Width="22" />
</telerik:radsplitter>

leftSlidingPane1.ID = "LeftSlidingPane1";
leftSlidingPane1.Title = "Left1";
leftSlidingPane1.Width = new Unit(150);
leftZone.Items.Add(leftSlidingPane1);
RadSlidingPane leftSlidingPane2 = new RadSlidingPane();
leftSlidingPane2.ID = "LeftSlidingPane2";
