Relation btw Post and Category

How to set Post's Category?

i cant find categoryId in "Post" class.

Thanks

You can create a Term of the right type and as it to the Terms. Categories and Tags work through terms.

How? Cant figure out

[KeesCBakker]

I use the following code:

var post = ...;

//create the keyword
var keyword = new Term
{
    Name = "My amazing new category",
    Slug = "miauw",
    Taxonomy = "category"
};

//save it
keyword.Id = client.NewTerm(keyword);

//create a terms list
var terms = new List<Term>();
terms.Add(keyword);

//add it
post.Terms = terms.ToArray();

Hope you'll get somewhere with it.

Both tags and categories are expressed as terms.

Sorry! would you help me? i can't post with terms.

Term keyword = WPClient.GetTerm("category", 2);
var terms = new List<Term>();
terms.Add(keyword);
var post = new Post();
post.Title = "TEST";
post.Content = "THIS IS TEST";
post.PostType = "post";
post.Status = "publish";
post.PublishDateTime = DateTime.Now;
post.Terms = terms.ToArray();
string res = WPClient.NewPost(post);

but an error happen.

401
taxonomy in terms or terms_names is not supported by this post type.

            //add tag and choice category ,category id need

           // You're wanted on this page: "/wp-admin/edit-tags.php, taxonomy=post_tag", hover over the categories, and see tag_id

            Status = "publish",
             
            
        };



        MessageBox.Show(client.NewPost(post));

I succeeded in creating a category, but I don't know how to make categories for new articles.
