As an extension of the KnowledgeFolder object, the KnowledgeCategoryFolder object deals with organizing and finding content and provides mechanisms for the logical organization of content. The KnowledgeFolder object deals with content storage and provides a mechanism for the physical organization of content. An individual document can be located in only one folder but can appear in many categories.
If the DataSource.SaveTo method is called after the KnowledgeCategoryFolder object is created, the DataSource.Save method must also be called to ensure that all of the properties of the object are saved.
