asp.net c# and mongodb models

I wanna know if i can use mongodb like models (model classes) in my project (asp.net mvc 4 c#).

For example:

namespace Demo.Models
{

    public class Model1
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
        public string Genre { get; set; }
        public decimal Price { get; set; }
    }

    public class MovieDBContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<Model1> models { get; set; }
    }
}

Let's say this is standard model for mssql database. Can i create models like this to use MongoDB collections, documents? If yes, how? (if you can provide me with link of some examples).

Thanks.

Yes you can use mongodb as model in your project. you just have to define a model class and get the required enetities that you need.But in this you have provide an BsonId attribute for any object for generating a unique id.

here's is a example from my code just check it out.

public class QuestionAttempt
{
    public ObjectId QId { get; set; }
    public long UserId { get; set; }
    [BsonElement("SN")]
    public string SkillName { get; set; }
    [BsonElement("IC")]
    public bool IsCorrect { get; set; }
}

In my code i have given some objects a smaller name with the [BsonElement()] attribute for less memory usage.

Yes you can don't forget to add BsonId attribute, because every object has to have his own unique id.

public class Model1
{
    [BsonId]
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
    public string Genre { get; set; }
    public decimal Price { get; set; }
}

And example you can find here:
