Create a category:

// create new instance of ContentManager
Telerik.Cms.Engine.ContentManager contentManager = new Telerik.Cms.Engine.ContentManager();
// create a new category
Telerik.Cms.Engine.ICategory firstCategory = contentManager.CreateCategory();
// save CategoryName value
firstCategory.CategoryName = "Category 1";
// save category object to database
contentManager.SaveCategory(firstCategory);
Response.Write(firstCategory.CategoryName + "<br />");
