Category and blocks
Hi,
Intead of asigning Category property -> contentCat.Category = new CategoryList(categoryIds.AsEnumerable());
try to use Add method to add categories:
var contentCat = sharedBlock as ICategorizable;
// remove this line:
// contentCat.Category = new CategoryList(categoryIds.AsEnumerable());
foreach(var id in categoryIds)
{
contentCat.Category.Add(id);
}

I am creating blocks programmatically. But block contents getting created without category. How to set category to a block by code ?
Below is how my code look like
var sharedBlock = contentrepository.GetDefault(new ContentReference(FolderId));
sharedBlock.Name ="Name";
sharedBlock.Title ="Title";
var contentCat = sharedBlock as ICategorizable;
contentCat.Category = new CategoryList(categoryIds.AsEnumerable());
//Since this is a shared block instance I can cast it to IContent
var content = contentCat as IContent;
content.Name ="BlockName";
var savedReference = contentrepository.Save(content, EPiServer.DataAccess.SaveAction.Publish);
