Using the PolicyCategory object you can:
Create a policy category to which target objects can subscribe.
Specify the policy category to use in a subscription
C#
PolicyCategorySubscription policyCatSub = new PolicyCategorySubscription(ps); policyCatSub.PolicyCategory = category; policyCatSub.TargetType = targetType; policyCatSub.Target = targetObject; policyCatSub.Create();
Any public static ( Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
