I have a document in mongodb that is structured similar to this: { "_id": "abcdef01234", "Name": "Product A", "Dimensions": [ { "Height": 32, "Width": 64 }, { "Height": 16, "Width": 32 }, { "Height": 8, "Width": 16 } ] } I also have a class defined to represent dimensions (the sub document from above) public class Dimension { public int Height { get; set; } public int Width { get; set; } } I am selecting the "Product A" document in this manner: MongoServer srv = MongoServer.Create(myConnStr); BsonDocument doc = srv["db"]["products"].FindOneById(ObjectId.Parse("abcdef01234")); BsonValue

I need to retrieve all the documents that are in my collection in MongoDB, but I cannot figure out how. I have declared my 'collection' like this- private static IMongoCollection<Project> SpeCollection = db.GetCollection<Project>("collection_Project"); And I followed what is explained in this MongoDB tutorial. I adjusted it for my needs, like- var documents = await SpeCollection.Find(new Project()).ToListAsync(); However, I keep having the following error- MongoDB.Driver.IMongoCollection does not have a definition for 'Find' and the best override of the extension method [superlong stuff]. Find

I'm exploring Mongo as an alternative to relational databases but I'm running into a problem with the concept of schemaless collections. In theory it sounds great, but as soon as you tie a model to a collection, the model becomes your defacto schema. You can no longer just add or remove fields from your model and expect it to continue to work. I see the same problems here managing changes as you have with a relational database in that you need some sort of script to migrate from one version of the database schema to the other. Am I approaching this from the wrong angle? What approaches do

I am using the Official MongoDB C# Drive v0.9.1.26831, but I was wondering given a POCO class, is there anyway to ignore certain properties from getting inserted. For example, I have the following class: public class GroceryList { public string Name { get; set; } public FacebookList Owner { get; set; } public bool IsOwner { get; set; } } Is there a way, for the IsOwner to not get inserted when I insert a GroceryList object? Basically, I fetch the object from the database then set the IsOwner property in the app layer and then return it back to the controller, which than maps the object to a

What is the best practice for managing the MongoServer class life cycle? Should I create one and close it at the end of each request or should it be kept as a singleton for the entire life of the app using something like StructureMap? Any help is appreciate. In the official documentation it is stated that MongoServer , MongoDatabase , and MongoCollection are thread safe, and that you're supposed to create one single MongoServer for each database that you connect to. Thus, MongoServer , MongoDatabase , and MongoCollection can safely be configured to be singletons. MongoServer will even help

I know that MongoDB is not supposed to support unit of work, etc. But I think it would be nice to implement the repository which would store only the intentions (similar to criteria) and then commit them to the DB. Otherwise in every method in your repository you have to create connection to DB and then close it. If we place the connection to DB in some BaseRepository class, then we tie our repository to concrete DB and it is really difficult to test repositories, to test IoC which resolve repositories. Is creating a session in MongoDB a bad idea? Is there a way to separate the connection
