Mongodb for .NET/C# Developers

MongoDB basics introduce a NoSQL document store with dynamic schema, where databases contain collections of documents that store data as key-value pairs.

Install the MongoDB community server from the official site using the installer, then connect locally, create a database and an items collection, and insert a sample document.

Set up a new .NET console project, install the MongoDB driver package, create a MongoClient with a connection string, and connect to a database to verify a successful MongoDB connection.

Create databases and collections in MongoDB using a .NET client, insert documents with fields like name and price, and fetch the first document.

Query a MongoDB collection for a single item in C# by building filters with the filter builder, filtering by name and price to retrieve a precise document.

Query a MongoDB collection for multiple items using filters and projections to return a list of documents. Iterate asynchronously with foreach and cursors to handle large or binary objects.

Learn to apply sorting to a collection query using the sort definition builder, selecting ascending or descending fields such as name or price to order results.

Master collection projection in MongoDB, using the project builder to retain data while excluding large fields like binary data or images, and omit the id column from results.

Learn how to insert multiple documents into the items collection using insert many and insert many async, by building a list of dummy documents with item, price, and item description.

Update documents in MongoDB using a filter and update one or update many with new values like name and description, inspecting matched, modified, and upserted flags.

Learn to delete documents in MongoDB for .NET/C# developers using deleteOne and deleteMany with filters, verify by finding a single document before deleting, and empty a collection via regex.

Install and configure mongodb for asp.net core by creating a new api project, adding the mongodb driver, and setting up swashbuckle for swagger, with an item service.

Connect a .NET/C# app to MongoDB by configuring the development settings, database name, and collection, then implement a get all items API controller using a find call.

Implement a single insert method that takes an item, calls the collection, and saves it via the items controller and item service, and verify the insertion with swagger post.

Update a MongoDB document by retrieving an item, changing its name and price, and replacing the document via the replace one method in the items service.
