Serialization of a C# class that uses [BsonRepresentation] attributes.

[S Sireesha]

Hi

The project I am working on has multiple C# classes which use [BsonRepresentation] attributes for their properties (mostly for Enum types in order to write values as strings in mongo).

I am trying to write tests for these classes that ensure that the Bson representation of the class is as expected. I want to do this by serializing the class to Bson and comparing the resultant string/document with a predefined string.

I tried different versions of  BsonSerializer.Serialize, BsonDocumentWrapper.Create and <MyClass>.ToBson() but all attempts throw this exception:

An exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in MongoDB.Bson.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: A serialization options attribute of type BsonRepresentationAttribute cannot be used when the serializer is of type BsonClassMapSerializer.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Sorry you're having some trouble. To help, we really examples of your classes so we can reproduce what is going on.
