Installing MongoDB Driver
This lesson contains instructions on how to install MongoDB driver on your machine.
We'll cover the following
Installing MongoDB Driver Package
The guys from MongoDB provided a wide range of drivers for different programming languages-- drivers are client libraries that an application can use.
For .NET all we need to do is install the NuGet package:
Install-Package MongoDB.Driver -Version 2.4.4
The MongoDB driver allows us to work with MongoDB using different programming languages, in our case, C#.
This will include three libraries in our project:
-
MongoDB.Bson – library used to serialize, deserialize and do other forms of manipulation with BSON documents.
-
MongoDB.Driver – the driver itself, used for communication with MongoDB.
-
MongoDB.Driver.Core – infrastructure on which the driver has been built.
All of the above libraries will help us in implementing the CRUD functions.
