Somewhat but still of interest is CSMongo, a C# driver for MongoDB created by the developer of jLinq. Here's a sample:

//create a database instance
using (MongoDatabase database = new MongoDatabase(connectionString)) {

    //create a new document to add
    MongoDocument document = new MongoDocument(new {
        name = "Hugo",
        age = 30,
        admin = false
    });

    //create entire objects with anonymous types
    document += new {
        admin = true,
        website = "http://www.hugoware.net",
        settings = new {
            color = "orange",
            highlight = "yellow",
            background = "abstract.jpg"
        }
    };

    //remove fields entirely
    document -= "languages";
    document -= new[] { "website", "settings.highlight" };

    //or even attach other documents
    MongoDocument stuff = new MongoDocument(new {
        computers = new [] { 
            "Dell XPS", 
            "Sony VAIO", 
            "Macbook Pro" 
            }
        });
    document += stuff;

    //insert the document immediately
    database.Insert("users", document);

}
