    To assign a category to an appointment at run time:

    1. Click the Categories button in the Appointment dialog box.
    2. Select the check box next to the desired category and click Ok. The categories appears next to the Categories text box. Note that you can assign multiple categories to an appointment.

    To assign a category to an appointment programmatically, use the following code:

    C#
    Copy Code 
    //Create Appointments
Appointment app = new Appointment(DateTime.Now.Date, DateTime.Now.Date.AddDays(1));
app.Subject = "Meeting";
sched1.DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Appointments.Add(app);

//Add new Categories to the CategoryList
sched1.DataStorage.CategoryStorage.Categories.Add(new Category() { MenuCaption = "Conference" });
sched1.DataStorage.CategoryStorage.Categories.Add(new Category() { MenuCaption = "Video Call" });
sched1.DataStorage.CategoryStorage.Categories.Add(new Category() { MenuCaption = "Interview" });
sched1.DataStorage.CategoryStorage.Categories.Add(new Category() { MenuCaption = "Games" });

var appointment = sched1.DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Appointments.First(x => x.Start == DateTime.Now.Date);
var categoryList = sched1.DataStorage.CategoryStorage.Categories;
appointment.Categories.Add(categoryList.First(x => x.MenuCaption == "Conference"));
appointment.Categories.Add(categoryList.First(x => x.MenuCaption == "Video Call"));
