I\'m evaluating the porting of SQL Server database to MongoDb.

The problem is moving stored procedures, I read about MongoDb stored JavaScript and I would like make

Answer 1

The exact same question was here: MongoDB db.runCommand() from C#

My first answer was there, but I think, it's better to do here.

I think you could call with this code:

var doc = new BsonDocument(new Dictionary<string, string> { { "test_function", "3" }});
var command = new BsonDocumentCommand<int>(doc);
var result = db.RunCommand(command );

But, as you could see here, it is really not recommended to use stored procedures this way.

I have found another solution here:

With this snippet, you could call your function this way:

db.EvalAsync("test_function(2)").Result

Answer 2

I think you can use this way to run a stored script:

var cmd = new JsonCommand<BsonDocument>("{ eval: \"test_function(2)\" }");
var result = db.RunCommand(cmd);

But result is in BsonDocument to get the correct result you can use this methods:

var intResult = result["retval"].ToInt32();
