Thanks for the speedy reply!

I tried FindAll(), FindByAll(), FindAllBy() and FindBy(). All of them seem to throw exceptions except FindAll, so I'm guessing that FindAll() is the correct method name, and that the MongoDB adapter just doesn't implement it yet.

I'm going through the source code now to see if I can find where it's failing and fix it.

BTW, I realize it's not best practice to grab everything from a Mongo collection. Did you implement anything similar to say, "Limit()"? If not, I might try to implement that. Right now I just want to grab the latest 5 items from a collection.

Not sure if you got it to work?
Maybe post at the authors repo https://github.com/craiggwilson/Simple.Data.MongoDB
I only messed around with this for a few days, and that was months ago
