Mongodb C# Driver - Why "server.Shutdown();" doesn't exist anymore?

[Matthias Weingärtner]

Hello,

Today i discovered that the c# driver version 2.2.3 doesn't have the Shutdown() method on the MongoServer Object anymore.

Why is this? Is there a work around?

Thanks in Advance!

It was removed because it should never be used from most applications. In the case that a specialized application needs, shutdown is simply a command that can be send using db.RunCommand("{shutdown: 1}").
