How can I update a inner property using the 10gen c# driver?

Question

I have this structure:

public class User
{
    public ObjectId Id { get; set; }
    public Location Location { get; set; }
    public DateTime LastAround {get;set;}
}

public class Location
{
    public double Latitude { get; set; }
    public double Longitude { get; set; }
}

I've tried a few things but I want to update User's Location and when they were last around.

Tried this:

userHelper.Collection.Update(
    Query.EQ("_id", userId),
    Update.SetWrapped<Location>("Location", new Location { Latitude = latitude, Longitude = longitude }).Set("LastAround", DateTime.UtcNow));

and this:

userHelper.Collection.Update(
    Query.EQ("_id", userId),
    Update.Set("Location.Latitude", latitude)
        .Set("Location.Longitude", longitude)
        .Set("LastAround", DateTime.UtcNow));

Nothing worked...how can I do this?

Update 4/17:

userHelper.Collection.Update(
                Query.EQ("_id", new ObjectId(userId)),
                Update
                    .SetWrapped<Location>("Location", new Location { Longitude = longitude, Latitude = latitude })
                    .Set("LastAround", DateTime.UtcNow)
            );

The lng and lat value orders seem to be very important when doing queries on them. I was doing a geonear query and getting an strange out of bounds error. If you update in the wrong order it will put lats first and then you get the error.

Both of your original Update statements should work. I wrote a small sample program to demonstrate.

After executing this Insert statement:

var userId = ObjectId.GenerateNewId();
var user = new User
{
    Id = userId,
    Location = new Location { Latitude = 1.0, Longitude = 2.0 },
    LastAround = new DateTime(2012, 4, 14, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc)
};
collection.Insert(user);

The document looks like this in the mongo shell:

> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("4f8c5d33e447ad34b8c7ac84"), "Location" : { "Latitude" : 1, "Longitude" : 2 }, "LastAround" : ISODate("2012-04-14T00:00:00Z") }

After executing the first form of the Update statement:

collection.Update(
    Query.EQ("_id", userId),
    Update
        .SetWrapped<Location>("Location", new Location { Latitude = 3.0, Longitude = 4.0 })
        .Set("LastAround", new DateTime(2012, 4, 15, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc)));

the document looks like this:

> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("4f8c5d33e447ad34b8c7ac84"), "Location" : { "Latitude" : 3, "Longitude" : 4 }, "LastAround" : ISODate("2012-04-15T00:00:00Z") }

And after executing the second form of the Update statement:

collection.Update(
    Query.EQ("_id", userId),
    Update
        .Set("Location.Latitude", 5.0)
        .Set("Location.Longitude", 6.0)
        .Set("LastAround", new DateTime(2012, 4, 16, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc)));

the document looks like this:

> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("4f8c5d33e447ad34b8c7ac84"), "Location" : { "Latitude" : 5, "Longitude" : 6 }, "LastAround" : ISODate("2012-04-16T00:00:00Z") }

So the two forms of the Update statement are working.
