Answer 1

Here is how it can be done:

using MongoDB.Bson.Serialization;

MongoServer srv = MongoServer.Create(myConnStr);
BsonDocument doc = srv["db"]["products"].FindOneById(ObjectId.Parse("abcdef01234"));
BsonValue dimVal = doc["Dimensions"];
List d = BsonSerializer.Deserialize>(dimVal.ToJson());
