MongoServer does not contain a definition for 'Create'

Question

I am getting the MongoServer does not contain a definition for 'Create' exception while compiling the below code. Please help me on this.

Libraries and versions

• MongoDB.Bson 2.0.0
• MongoDB.Driver 2.0.0
• MongoDB.Driver.Core 2.0.0

List<Info> names = new List<Info>();
String name = "";
MongoServer server = MongoServer.Create(
    ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["connectionString"]);
MongoDatabase myDB = server.GetDatabase("ES");
MongoCollection<Info> Persons = myDB.GetCollection<Info>("MyCollection");
foreach (Info Aperson in Persons.FindAll())
{
    name = name + " " + Aperson.Name;
    names.Add(Aperson);
}

Answer 1

The MongoServer.Create() method was removed in version 2.0 . It has been deprecated since at least version 1.7 .

Instead, use MongoClient . To get access to the MongoServer , use MongoClient.GetServer()

MongoClient client = new MongoClient(
    ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["connectionString"]);
MongoServer server = client.GetServer();

Answer 2

This is what you need to do, using the new MongoDB.Driver 2.0:

var connectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["connectionString"];

var client = new MongoClient(connectionString);
var database = client.GetDatabase("ES");  

var collection = database.GetCollection<BsonDocument>("MyCollection");
var persons = await collection.Find(new BsonDocument()).ToListAsync();
