C# : Sending Raw Queries to MongoDB

This code will allow you to send a raw MongoDB query to the server and return back a record set.  This will allow you to write queries as if you are writing them for the console.

// Connect to the MongoDB Database/Collection
// Enter your Database name and Collection Name

MongoCollection<BsonDocument> myMongoDB = new MongoClient("mongodb://localhost").GetServer().GetDatabase("Insert Database Name").GetCollection<BsonDocument>("Insert Collection Name");

// Write your query as you would in the MongoDB console

var query = "{somefield : \"some value\"}"; // escape your double quotes inside the string

// loop through the records

foreach (var row in myMongoDB.Find(new QueryDocument(MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.BsonSerializer.Deserialize<BsonDocument>(query))))
{
    Console.WriteLine(row["somefield"].ToString());
}
