Hi,
Regarding the NET API component CategoryItemField
Is there any method I pass the description of a category and it returns the OptionId ?

  Hi Thiago,

  You can do the following :

   string categoryText = "Test category 1";
              var podioApp = podio.ApplicationService.GetAppField(123456, 789456);
              var key = podioApp.Config.Settings["options"].FirstOrDefault(x => (string)x["text"] == categoryText)["id"].ToString();

  Hi Ajmal,
  Thank you!
  I Implemented your code and hitherto returns perfectly
  var key = podioApp.Config.Settings["options"]
  But the complete code returns the Error.

  look:

  podioApp.Config.Settings["options"] {[
  {
  "status": "active",
  "text": "Text A ",
  "id": 1,
  "color": "FFD5C2"
  },
  {
  "status": "active",
  "text": "Text B”,
  "id": 5,
  "color": "E1D8ED"
  },
  {
  "status": "deleted",
  "text": " Text C”,
  "id": 2,
  "color": "E1D8ED"
  },
  {
  "status": "deleted",
  "text": "Text D",
  "id": 3,
  "color": "DCEBD8"
  },
  {
  "status": "active",
  "text": "Text E",
  "id": 4,
  "color": "FFD5C2"
  },
  {
  "status": "deleted",
  "text": "Text F",
  "id": 6,
  "color": "DCEBD8"
  },
  {
  "status": "active",
  "text": "Text G",
  "id": 7,
  "color": "F7F0C5"
  }
  ]} Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JToken {Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray}

  But the complete code returns the Error Following
  podioApp.Config.Settings["options"].FirstOrDefault(x => (string)x["text"] == categoryText)["id"].ToString() Expression cannot contain lambda expressions

  podioApp.Config.Settings property is a JObject. You can easily query the date with LINQ, Please refer this documentation: http://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/QueryingLINQtoJSON.htm
