MongoDB C# Driver: Ignore Property on Insert

Question

I am using the Official MongoDB C# Drive v0.9.1.26831, but I was wondering given a POCO class, is there anyway to ignore certain properties from getting inserted.

For ex

Answer 1

Just in case somebody might be interested in another way of doing it. Via conventions:

public class IgnoreSomePropertyConvention : ConventionBase, IMemberMapConvention
{
    public void Apply(BsonMemberMap memberMap)
    { // more checks will go here for the case above, e.g. type check
        if (memberMap.MemberName != "DoNotWantToSaveThis")
            memberMap.SetShouldSerializeMethod(o => false);
    }
}

And then you need to register this convention once during you app startup:

ConventionRegistry.Register("MyConventions", new ConventionPack { new IgnoreBaseIdConvention()  }, t => true);
