Getting the documents of a category

I'm trying to get the documents of a category for a current project my client asked for. I think that I'm close, but I'm not totally sure. Here is the current code that I'm using for it:

CMS.SiteProvider.CategoryInfo category = CMS.SiteProvider.CategoryInfoProvider.GetCategoryInfo("Environment", CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentSite.ToString());

string docs = CMS.SiteProvider.CategoryInfoProvider.GetCategoryDocumentsWhereCondition(category, true);

I have about 3 documents in the Environment category, but I still don't get any information returned. I would just like to make sure that I'm doing this correctly.

Member	davids-kentico - 4/17/2013 5:31:13 AM RE:Getting the documents of a category Was this the problem: CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentSite.ToString() To get the name of the current site, use CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentSiteName It saves some processing time.
