How do you call the Ping
command with the new C# driver 2.0?
In the old driver it was available via Server.Ping()
? Also, Is there a way to find
This worked for me on both c# driver 2 and 1
int count = 0;
var client = new MongoClient(connection);
// This while loop is to allow us to detect if we are connected to the MongoDB server
// if we are then we miss the execption but after 5 seconds and the connection has not
// been made we throw the execption.
while (client.Cluster.Description.State.ToString() == "Disconnected") {
Thread.Sleep(100);
if (count++ >= 50) {
throw new Exception("Unable to connect to the database. Please make sure that "
+ client.Settings.Server.Host + " is online");
}
}
