Remarks

This property is used to specify the categories or subtypes contained in a calendar event. The categories are useful in searching for an event of a particular type and/or category. Within the "VEVENT", "VTODO", or "VJOURNAL" calendar components, more than one category can be specified as a COMMA-separated list of categories. For example:

  CalDAV.CalendarEvents[0].Category = "APPOINTMENT,EDUCATION,MEETING";

This property is filled from the response to a GetCalendarEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the PutCalendarEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.
