How to use [BsonIgnoreIfNull] for an integer Type

[Adrian Lopez]

Hi, there's any way to use  [BsonIgnoreIfNull]]stament in a int field of a model? Since C# don't allow to have null values for int variables, I cant figure out. Regards.

 public class MyModel
{
[BsonIgnoreIfNull
 public int field1 get;set;}
}

[BsonIgnoreIfNull] is meant to be used with reference types (types that can have a null value).

You can use [BsonIgnoreIfDefault] with int values if you want. If the int value is 0 it won't be serialized.

You can also use [BsonIgnoreIfNull] with nullable ints:

    public class C
    {
        [BsonIgnoreIfNull]
        public int? F { get; set; } // int? instead of int
    }

F won't be serialized if it is null (i.e. HasValue is false).

Thank you Robert! I also realized that a numeric string is actually stored as integer by mongoDB.

Not sure what you mean by your last comments.

Strings are stored as strings (even if they happen to contain characters that look like a number).
