Simple.Data and MongoDB

Get really dynamic with Simple.Data and MongoDB

took me awhile to figure out the proper way to establish a connection with Simple.Data.MongoDB

	using Simple.Data;
	using Simple.Data.MongoDB;
	// connect
	dynamic db = Database.Opener.OpenMongo("mongodb://localhost:27017/myDB");
	// insert
	dynamic user = new ExpandoObject();
	user.FirstName = "Joe";
	user.LastName = "Smith";
	user.Email = "jsmith@test.com";
	db.Users.Insert(user);
	// find
	dynamic existingUser = db.Users.FindByEmail("jsmith@test.com");

Some of the errors I received on my journey

From Simple.Data

Message=No valid exports were found that match the constraint '((exportDefinition.ContractName == "Ado") AndAlso (exportDefinition.Metadata.ContainsKey("ExportTypeIdentity") AndAlso "Simple.Data.Adapter".Equals(exportDefinition.Metadata.get_Item("ExportTypeIdentity"))))', invalid exports may have been rejected.

And from mongo driver when my connection string was not in the correct format, I was using the wrong port

Message=No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:
