Mongo C# Driver: Deserialize BsonValue

Question

I have a document in mongodb that is structured similar to this:

{
  \"_id\": \"abcdef01234\",
  \"Name\": \"Product A\",
  \"Dimensions\": [
    {
      \"Heigh         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

public class Product
{
   [BsonId]
   public ObjectId Id { get; set; }

   public string Name{ get; set; }

   public List Dimensions{ get; set; }
}

public class DimensionDoc
{
   public int Height { get; set; }
   public int Width { get; set; }

}

Product product = srv["db"]["products"].FindOneByIdAs(ObjectId.Parse("abcdef01234"));

product.Dimensions will now contain the List<> you need.
