title: SharePoint: Get site directory's categories programmatically
body: <p>I'm looking for a way to get the categories defined in the site directory of a portal programmatically. As far as I could see categories are represented as fields of the type "choice" with multiple values the user can chose form. </p>
  
  <p>My problem is, how could I distinguish category fields from normal fields like "title" or "author". Actually I don't wan to hard code the categories names but want to load them dynamically. I think there have to be some criteria as the standard web part on the site directory page also loads the categories dynamically.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I couldn't find many information about this problem. </p>
  
  <p>Bye Flo</p>
