How to add an array to a Mongo entity class?












0














I want to use List<> to create an array. For example:



Class Test{
public ObjectId Id {get;set;}
public string name {get;set;}
public List<Field> fields {get;set;}
}
Class Field{
public ObjectId Id {get;set;}
public string name {get;set;}
public string value {get;set;}
......
}


This is the code for saving it to the database:



var a = new Test();
a.name = "Saw";
var field1 = new Field();
field1.name="BIZMSGID";
a.fields = new List<Field>();
a.fields.Append(field1);
var collection = database.GetCollection<Test>("test");
collection.InsertOne(a);


And the result is this.(In Linqpad)
enter image description here



Why the field1 is not effective?

          a.fields.Append(field1);


          The remarks section of the documentation for Append states:




          This method does not modify the elements of the collection. Instead, it creates a copy of the collection with the new element.




          So, in short: you're not modifying a.fields, you're creating a LINQ view that has field1 as the last item.



          You should use the List's add method:



          a.fields.Add(field1);
