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);
