An item category defines a collection of item types, and facilitates filtering a collection of items. An item category consists of a DAML declaration and a class derived from the ItemCategory class. For example, a category could define a relationship between the feature classes, relationship classes and tables in a geodatabase. The item category allows you retrieve an enumerable collection of items associated with the category at once from a given item. Use of the ItemCategory is not recursive. That is, when you retrieve items from a folder, the result will not include items stored within subfolders.
