Create document not working - C# DocumentDB/CosmosDB

Question

I think I am on the right path, but my C# code is not creating document in Azure CosmosDB. Below is my documentdb code:

using (var client = new DocumentClient(new Uri(endpoint), authkey))
{
    Database database = client.CreateDatabaseQuery("SELECT * FROM c WHERE c.id = 'db'").AsEnumerable().First();
    var query = new SqlQuerySpec
    {
        QueryText = "SELECT * FROM c WHERE c.id = @id",
        Parameters = new Microsoft.Azure.Documents.SqlParameterCollection { new Microsoft.Azure.Documents.SqlParameter { Name = "@id", Value = collectionId }
    }
};

DocumentCollection collection = client.CreateDocumentCollectionQuery(database.SelfLink,query).AsEnumerable().First();

dynamic document1Definition = new
{
    name = "Admin",
    address = 1,
};

var result = client.CreateDocumentAsync(collection.SelfLink, document1Definition);

}

Also want to point out, currently there are no columns named as "name" and "address" in my collection . So according to my knowledge they are suppose to be created dynamically. Please let me know what wrong are you doing?

Answer 1

See last statement, you are using c# Async method without await.

Use await client.CreateDocumentAsync(collection.SelfLink, document1Definition); or your code will exit before document creation is finished.

Note that your method should change to public async Task methodname() , you will see related tip shown by VS.
