Can I do a text query with the mongodb c# driver

Question

Is there a way to submit a query that is expressed in the shell query syntax to the mongo c# driver

For example Something like

Coll.find { \"myrecs\"         


        

Answer 1

Using the official C# driver, you'd do something like this:

var server = MongoServer.Create("mongodb://localhost:27017");
var db = server.GetDatabase("mydb");
var col = db.GetCollection("col");

var query = Query.And(Query.EQ("x", 3), Query.EQ("y", "abc"));
var resultsCursor = col.Find(query).SetSortOrder("x");
var results = resultsCursor.ToList();

The equivalent query from the shell would be:

col.find({ x: 3, y: "abc" }).sort({ x: 1 })
