How to associate a category to a post wordpress?

I am creating a feature that creates automated posts in wordpress. Right now, the feature creates the wordpress blog post, but I can not enter the category.

public class Post
{

public string Title { get; set; }

public string Description { get; set; }

public string PostType { get; set; }

public DateTime DateCreated { get; set; }

public DateTime DateCreatedGmt { get; set; }

public List<string> Categories { get; set; }

public List<string> MtKeywords { get; set; }

public string MtExcerpt { get; set; }

public string MtTextMore { get; set; }

public string MtAllowComments { get; set; }

public string MtAllowPings { get; set; }

public string WpSlug { get; set; }

public string WpPassord { get; set; }

public string WpAuthorId { get; set; }

public string WpAuthorDisplayName { get; set; }

public string PostStatus { get; set; }

public string WpPostFormat { get; set; }

public bool Sticky { get; set; }

public List<CustomFields> CustomFields;

public Enclosure Enclosure;
}


I tried to get to class first and pass only the category name to avoid errors:

var wordpress = XmlRpcProxyGen.Create<IWordpress>();

Category[] categories= wordpress.getCategories(0, username, password);


The method that builds the post category receives as parameter. This method belongs to the class Post. The category is inserted in the post this way:

Categories.Add(category.categoryName);


Could anyone help me? I've seen so many times this code that I can not see where I'm going wrong: (.

The attributes of Post were obtained in documentation :

[To see links please register here]

. I'm using CookComputing.XmlRpc -

[To see links please register here]

- version 2.5.0

I realized after I posted the question was how wrong was handling category.

To place the post, we create:

class MetaWeblogClient : XmlRpcClientProtocol
{

[XmlRpcMissingMapping(MappingAction.Ignore)]

public struct Post
{
public DateTime dateCreated;
public string description;
public string title;
public string[] categories;
public string permalink;
public string postid;
public string userid;
public string wp_slug;

}

And initialize the attributes in:

public void newPost(string userid, string password, string description, string title)
{
this.Url = "http://#########.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php";

Post post = new Post();

post.categories = new string[1];
post.categories[0] = "Category Name";
post.dateCreated = DateTime.Now;
post.userid = userid;
post.description = description;
post.title = title;

newPost("0", userid, password, post, true);

}

[XmlRpcMethod("metaWeblog.newPost")]

public string newPost(string blogid, string authorId, string password, MetaWeblogClient.Post string description, bool publish)
{
//return string postid
return returnPostId = (string)this.Invoke("newPost", new Object[] { blogid, authorId, password, description, publish });

}
My mistake was not referring to initialize the array category. The structure above is not correct and I will remove it from my code.

Thank you for your attention.

Another thing you could use is the wp.newPost method:

[To see links please register here]

This uses 'taxonomies' instead of categories.

I'm currently updating the JoeBlogs Wordpress wrapper to support taxonomies (categories)
