MongoDB ADO.NET Provider

Standard ADO.NET Access to MongoDB

The MongoDB ADO.NET Provider offers the most natural way to access MongoDB data from any .NET application. Simply use MongoDB Data Provider objects to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. You will be able to use the MongoDB Data Provider through Visual Studio Server Explorer, in code through familiar classes, and in data controls like DataGridView, GridView, DataSet, etc.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for MongoDB hides the complexity of accessing data and provides additional powerful security features, smart caching, batching, socket management, and more.

Working with DataAdapters, DataSets, DataTables, etc.

The MongoDB Data Provider has the same ADO.NET architecture as the native .NET data providers for SQL Server and OLEDB, including: MongoDBConnection, MongoDBCommand, MongoDBDataAdapter, MongoDBDataReader, MongoDBDataSource, MongoDBParameter, etc. Because of this you can now access MongoDB data in an easy, familiar way.

For example:

using (MongoDBConnection conn = new MongoDBConnection("...")) {
	string select = "SELECT * FROM DocumentDB";
	MongoDBCommand cmd = new MongoDBCommand(select, conn);
	MongoDBDataAdapter adapter = new MongoDBDataAdapter(cmd);
	using (adapter) {
		DataTable table = new DataTable();
		adapter.Fill(table);		
		...
	}
}

More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support

MongoDB Data Provider goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full support for Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact with the data presented by the MongoDB Data Provider as easily as interacting with a database table.

using (MongoDBConnection connection = new MongoDBConnection(connectionString)) {
	MongoDBDataAdapter dataAdapter = new MongoDBDataAdapter(
	"SELECT Id, Where FROM DocumentDB", connection);
  
	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand = new MongoDBCommand(
		"UPDATE DocumentDB SET Where = @Where " +
		"WHERE Id = @ID", connection);

	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Where", "Where");
	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Id", "80000173-1387137645");

	DataTable DocumentDBTable = new DataTable();
	dataAdapter.Fill(DocumentDBTable);

	DataRow firstrow = DocumentDBTable.Rows[0];
	firstrow["Where"] = "New Location";

	dataAdapter.Update(DocumentDBTable);
}
