C# MongoDB.Driver GetServer is Gone, What Now?


From the mongoDB.Driver docs (http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/tutorial/getting-started-with-csharp-driver/)

Get a Reference to a Server Object

To get a reference to a server object from the client object, write this:

var server = client.GetServer();

In the latest release the GetServer method is gone, but the doc have not been updated, what do we use now?

Thanks for your time.


Solution

  • GetServer is part of the old API.

    To use the new, shiny and async-ready API simply call GetDatabase directly on the client to get an IMongoDatabase and GetCollection on it to get an IMongoCollection:

    var db = client.GetDatabase("HamsterSchool");
    var collection = db.GetCollection<Hamster>("Hamsters");
