Hi John,

In order to add a Category to an Appointment you should not create a new Category but add an already existing one. You can find the Categories collection in the CategoriesSource property of the ScheduleView:

var appointment = new Appointment();
appointment.Category = this.scheduleView.CategoriesSource.Cast<Category>().FirstOrDefault(c => c.CategoryName == "Green Category");

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions let us know.
