Setting Category When Publishing A Document To Sharepoint

[f0z]

I'm sure that I'm just looking at this so long that I'm staring right at the answer but I just cant see it.

I just need to specify which category a document will belong to.

The VB.Net Code is as follows:

KnowDoc.Categories = Array(":Vehicles")

But I just cant get the damn thing to work with c#

I've tried this:

KnowDoc.Categories = new string[] {@":IT"};

but get an invalid index error.

Any Help is much appreciated cheers, foz.

are you sure you get the error on this line?
what type is Categories? string[]?

I'm 100% the error is with this line. When I comment out this line and just publish the document without a category everything goes fine.

categories is supposed to be a string array as far as i'm aware. Granted I'm no expert with this thing so I could be wrong I can only go on the examples I've found on the internet.

the vbscript for this seems to suggest that it's an string array

oDoc.Categories = array(":products:sharepoint", ":teams:collaboration")

when you type in Visual Studio .NET KnowDoc.Categories a text (tooltip like) appears and says what's the type of the variable

"two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do" - the unknown sage

OK i've got it working

It didnt like string arrays it needed an object array, bit odd but it worked.

KnowDoc.Categories = new object[] {":Category"};

cheers, for your efforts mate

=] i had a hunch it might be an array of objects

I never even thought of bringing up a level of abstraction to the object was just focusing on why the damn string array wouldnt work.
