Ignoring Extra Elements in mongoDB C# Driver

MongoDB删除字段后会报错: Element ... does not match any field or property of class Customer.

需要在实体类增加 [BsonIgnoreExtraElements]   //using MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Attributes;

参考这篇老外的文章:

mongoDB affords you the ability to store documents within a single collection that can each have their own schema. This is a drastic change if you have a background in relational databases. In a relational database, you have a static schema per table and you cannot deviate from without changing the structure of the table.

In the example below, I have defined a Person class and a PersonWithBirthDate class which derives from the Person class. These can both be stored in the same collection in a mongoDB database. In this case, assume the documents are stored in the Persons collection.

public class Person
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
} public class PersonWithBirthDate : Person
{
public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
}

You can easily retrieve and of the documents and have the mongoDB C# Driver deserialze the document into the PersonWithBirthDate class. However, you will run into issues if you query the Persons collection and try to have the driver deserialize the data into the Person class. You will receive an error that there are elements that cannot be deserialized.

This easily fixable by adding the [BsonIgnoreExtraElements] attribute to the Person class. You can see the modified class below. This will instruct the driver to ignore any elements that it cannot deserialize into a corresponding property. With the attribute any document in the Persons collection can be deserailized to thePerson class without error.

[BsonIgnoreExtraElements]
public class Person
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
} public class PersonWithBirthDate : Person
{
public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
}

There is a gotcha that I recently found while trying to implement a scenario similar to the one above. In the source code for the mongo C# driver, the attribute is defined in a way that it can be inherited to the child classes when applied to the parent class (BsonIgnoreExtraElementsAttribute.cs). However, when the attribute is read, it ignores the inheritance of the attribute (BsonClassMap.cs) and does not get applied to the child classes. I agree with this implementation, but it’s a little confusing if you review the source code for the definition of the[BsonIgnoreExtraElements] attribute. Even with this inconsistency, all you need to do is to apply the[BsonIgnoreExtraElements] to each class that may read a document from a collection where there are extra elements.
