C#

private void BuildMenuItems()
{
    ToolStripMenuItem[] items = new ToolStripMenuItem[2]; // You would obviously calculate this value at runtime.your splited string length goes here
    for (int i = 0; i &lt; items.Length; i++)
    {
        items[i] = new ToolStripMenuItem();
        items[i].Name = "dynamicItem" + i.ToString(); //You have to set your string value here
        items[i].Tag = "specialDataHere";
        items[i].Text = "Visible Menu Text Here";
        items[i].Click += new EventHandler(MenuItemClickHandler);
    }

    myMenu.DropDownItems.AddRange(items);
}

private void MenuItemClickHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ToolStripMenuItem clickedItem = (ToolStripMenuItem)sender;
    // Take some action based on the data in clickedItem
}
