Today I’ve been playing a little with MongoDB, and after enjoyed triggering a few commands from Mongo’s console, I decided to download, build and try the C# driver. Build it and use it is pretty straightforward, and in a couple of minutes you can be playing with your local database from a C# console...

Introduction to popular NoSQL database.

Now it’s time to have a quick peak on this whole “schema-less” thing that NoSQL products offer. We will of course focus on MongoDB when we compare a document-oriented DB against a more traditional, relational DB commonly found in RDBMS like SQL Server.

This time we will have a quick look at using MongoDb as a service. The provider we will look at is MongoLab. It takes about 5 minutes to be up and running. Add a couple of minutes and you will have used Postman to do what we have done in the previous articles. Inserting and updating simple document....

This is a short article, where we will look at installing MongoDb as a service as well as selecting a GUI tool that we can use to interact with MongoDb servers and databases.

It has been a while since I used MongoDb and wrote my C# driver, so I thought I would take a look at what has happened and to checkout how the official MongoDb driver from 10Gen works after having gone through how to install Mongo etc. I will also show how to make use of custom conventions to that y...

I explore how to setup a Mongo Database as well as how to query a MongoDb with C#.

A good introduction to using MongoDB from C#

MongoDb is a schema free, scalable, high performance document database. In this article we will demonstrate how quickly you can make a blog using ASP.NET MVC Framework, MongoDb and the C# driver.

In the second part of this multi part serie, we finally save something to the database. We refactor our code and we set the foundations for further work on the select and mapping features.

In this multipart serie, I will create a MongoDB provider for BlogEngine.Net I will explore the problems and solutions I find during the development process. I will use mostly a test first approach and all the code is public in Codeplex for you to follow along.

MongoDb is a document oriented database, identified as part of the NoSql movement. In this series of post I will try to create a provider to use with the open source blogging engine Blogengine.net
