Now in this post I will show how to Connect with MongoDB using MongoDBCSharpDriver in Asp.Net MVC and retrieve data from MongoDB.

OutPut:

Create Application in MVC with any Name as you like, ones it is created ADD mongocsharpdriver from nuget as shown below.

Ones it is Added you can see the dll's as shown below.

Now create a class in Models Folder as shown below.

   

    public class Students
    {
        [BsonRepresentation(BsonType.ObjectId)]
        public string _id { get; set; }
        public string SchoolName { get; set; }
        public string Class { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public List Subjects { get; set; }
        public double Year { get; set; }
    }

In the web.config file ADD connection string as shown below

  

<configuration>
 <connectionStrings>
  <add name="MongoConString" connectionString="mongodb://192.168.2.19"/><!--localhost-->
 </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

Now Build the solution, then replace the HTML code in Index.cshtml under Views/Home folder as shown below

  

@model IEnumerable<Mongo_School_MVC.Models.Students>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<center>
    <h2>Students from School MongoDB</h2>
</center>
<div class="panel panel-default">
    <table class="table table-striped table-hover">
        <thead>
            <tr class="active">
                <th>School Name</th>
                <th>Class</th>
                <th>Student Name</th>
                <th>Year</th>
                <th>Subjects</th>
                <th>Actions</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            @foreach (var item in Model)
            {
                <tr>
                    <td>@item.SchoolName</td>
                    <td>@item.Class</td>
                    <td>@item.Name</td>
                    <td>@item.Year</td>
                    <td>
                        @if (item.Subjects != null)
                        {
                            @String.Join(", ", @item.Subjects.Select(p => p).ToArray())
                        }
                    </td>
                    <td>                        
                        <input type="submit" formaction="" value="EDIT" class="btn btn-info btn-xs"  style="width:60px;"/>
                        <input type="submit"
                               formaction="/home/delete/@item._id"
                               value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger btn-xs"  style="width:60px;"/>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            }
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>
