Hands-on

Find the “Category.aspx.cs”. The method “Page_Load” needs to populate the CategoryProductModel, which is then used to bind data to the view Category.aspx. Map “CurrentCategory” to the CategoryProductModel with:

• Name
• Description

Bonus

Display category images using Kentico APIs. Figure out if there’s a suitable property you can use or if you need to extend the CategoryProductModel with a property to hold the image. You would need to make use of the ImageService.
