.NET driver and raw bson data

[Andreas Vilinski]

Hi,

i would like insert data structures already serialized to bson byte array (with FsPickler)

Can't figure out myself whether it is possible with current .NET driver.

There is RawBsonDocument class, however i was not able to make insert with it.

Can you help?

It should be as simple as using 

var collection = db.GetCollection<RawBsonDocument>("collection_name");

var doc = new RawBsonDocument(bytes);

collection.InsertOne(doc);

Perhaps you could let us know what you tried and the error you received.

Oh, thanks!

my try was:

var collection = db.GetCollection<BsonDocument>("collection_name");

collection of BsonDocument, but tried to insert RawBsonDocument, which compiled but didn't work

A collection of <BsonDocument> should work as well... I tried it on my machine and it did work:

    var client = new MongoClient("mongodb://localhost");

    var database = client.GetDatabase("test");

    var collection = database.GetCollection<BsonDocument>("test");

    var document = new BsonDocument { { "_id", 1 }, { "x", 0 } };
    var bytes = document.ToBson();
    var rawDocument = new RawBsonDocument(bytes);

    database.DropCollection("test");
    collection.InsertOne(rawDocument);
