Get pages with category

I can't get this to work, shouldn't it return all pages with category 903?


PropertyCriteria category = new PropertyCriteria();
category.Name = "PageCategory";
category.Type = PropertyDataType.Category;
category.StringCondition = EPiServer.Filters.StringCompareMethod.Identical;
category.Value = "903"; //comma-separated list of ids or names

PropertyCriteriaCollection col = new PropertyCriteriaCollection();
col.Add(category);

PageDataCollection pdcNews = new PageDataCollection();
pdcNews = Global.EPDataFactory.FindPagesWithCriteria(EPiServer.Global.EPConfig.StartPage, col);

Hi, I think maybe your category.StringCondition is not correct for comparing Categories. I use criteria.Condition = CompareCondition.Equal My code, which works fine, looks like this:


public static PropertyCriteria GetCategoryCriteria(ArrayList selections) 
{
	PropertyCriteria criteria = null;

	if (selections.Count > 0) 
	{
		criteria = new PropertyCriteria();
		criteria.Condition = CompareCondition.Equal;
		criteria.Type = PropertyDataType.Category;
		criteria.Value = String.Join(",", (String[]) selections.ToArray(typeof(String)));
		criteria.Name = "PageCategory";
		criteria.Required = true;
	}

	return criteria;
}

Hope that helps. Jon
