The descriptor for the domain property for which to get the category.

Return Value

Type: System.String
A localized string for the category of a domain property.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	propertyDescriptor is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

When an owner is specified when a domain property descriptor is created, then the Category property of the property descriptor uses the category returned by the GetCategory method of the owner. If this method returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), then the property descriptor uses the metadata of the described property to determine the category of the property.
