Get All 'documents' from MongoDB 'collection'

Question

I need to retrieve all the documents that are in my collection in MongoDB, but I cannot figure out how. I have declared my \'collection\' like this-

private stat         


        

Answer 1

Using the current version of the driver (v2.0) you can do that by passing a filter that matches everything:

var documents = await SpeCollection.Find(_ => true).ToListAsync();

They have also added an empty filter (FilterDefinition.Empty) which will arrive in the next version of the driver (v2.1):

var documents = await SpeCollection.Find(Builders.Filter.Empty).ToListAsync();
