Mongodb c# library Async

Question

I am using ASP.net Web API and MongoDB to create a simple service.

I am using the official Mongodb C# library.

How can I make it Async? I think the official Mongodb C# library does not support Async.

Can I just make the controller Async but not the select statement?

Controller:

 public IQueryable<Test> GetAllPlaces()
 {
     return _test.GetAllPlaces().AsQueryable();
 }

Select from mongodb database:

public IEnumerable<Test> GetAllPlaces()
{
     return _test.FindAll();
}

Thank you.

While you could make it async, doing so won't provide you any real performance gains as the underlying library isn't Async. There's a lot more to it and is described well here. The general answer is "no."
