Using MongoDB in C#

In order to use MongoDB in C#, you can import MongoDB C# Driver to your project. It's best to create some dummy base class for convenience.

using MongoDB.Driver;
using MongoDB.Driver.Builders;

Base class for data objects. Each record must have a Id.

using MongoDB.Bson;
using MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Attributes;

    public interface IMongoEntity
    {
        ObjectId Id { get; set; }
    }

    public class MongoEntity : IMongoEntity
    {
        [BsonIgnoreIfDefault]
        [BsonId]
        public ObjectId Id { get; set; }
    }

Then a real model class.

[BsonIgnoreExtraElements]
    class MyObject : MongoEntity
    {
        [BsonElement("symbol")]
        public string Symbol
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
   }

Connect to local MongoDB server and push some data.

var connectionString = "mongodb://localhost";
var client = new MongoClient(connectionString);

var server = client.GetServer();

var database = server.GetDatabase("tutorial"); // "test" is the name of the database

// "entities" is the name of the collection
var collection = database.GetCollection<MongoEntity>("test");

MongoEntity newEntity = new MyObject {
        Symbol = "Tom"
};

Upsert(collection, newEntity);
