How to resolve a System.TimeoutException during MongoDB connection?

I've started using the MongoDB .Net driver to connect a WPF application to a MongoDB database hosted on MongoLabs.

But the following method I created to load the connection(called on the MainViewModel's constructor), threw a timeout exception on the line marked in the method below.

I tried to resolve the error further by adding an exception check of type MongoException to no avail. Also checked that the connection string is valid as per the docs and it seems so: (password starred out for security)

    private const string connectionString = "mongodb://<brianVarley>:<********>@ds048878.mongolab.com:48878/orders";

The specific error thrown is as follows:

An exception of type 'System.TimeoutException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Does anyone know the reason why I'm getting the timeout on my connection method?

        public List<Customer> LoadCustomers()
        {
            var client = new MongoClient(connectionString);
            var database = client.GetDatabase("orders");
            //Get a handle on the customers collection:
            var collection = database.GetCollection<Customer>("customers");

            try
            {
                //Timeout error thrown at this line: 
                customers = collection.Find(new BsonDocument()).ToListAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
            }
            catch(MongoException ex)
            {
                //Log exception here:
                MessageBox.Show("A handled exception just occurred: " + ex.Message, "Connection Exception", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Warning);          
            }

            return customers;
        }

Solved this error by re-editing my connection string. I had left these two symbols in my connection string in error, '<' and '>' between the user name and password credentials.

Correct format:

"mongodb://brianVarley:[email protected]:54118/orders";

Incorrect format:

"mongodb://<brianVarley>:<password;>@ds054118.mongolab.com:54118/orders";
