MongoDB add array to BsonDocument

I am trying to add fields in a mongodb document using C# drivers.

I am creating a document.

BsonDocument document = new BsonDocument();

and adding

document.Add(name, value); // here name and value both are string

but I am not sure how to add an array in this scenario

like document.Add(name, values); // here values is List<string>

e.g. document.Add(skills, [C++, Java, C#]);

please help me with this

Solution

  • If you're working with a List<string>:

    var skills = new List<string> {"C++", "Java", "C#"};
document.Add("skills", new BsonArray(skills));

    Or, more simply:

    document.Add("skills", new BsonArray { "C++", "Java", "C#" } );
