i need to create a vertical seperation line in a panel, how do i do so ?
do i need to create a place holder and just load an image or is there a better way for doing so ?

If you do not need to re-size the Panel's separations, even a blank Label that is set to AutoSize=False with a 3D border should do the trick.
Otherwise, check out the SplitContainer in the "Containers" tab of the vb.net Toolbox.
