Asynchronous insert to MongoDB in C#

How can I make an asynchronous insert/update to M开发者_C百科ongoDB in C#? What is the terminology for lazy-persistence?

• write-behind

MongoDB inserts are by default kind of asynchronous since it's fire-and-forget. The error check is an explicit operation or you have to enable the safe mode on the driver level. If you need true asynchronous operations: use a message queue.

In caching world 'lazy-persistence' would be called write-behind. Check this out: Cache/Wikipedia

Probably the easiest way is to use the C# async method calls. This will tell you how:

The code would look something like:

• define your own delegate:

      private delegate void InsertDelegate(BsonDocument doc);
  

• use it

      MongoCollection<BsonDocument> books = database.GetCollection<BsonDocument>("books");
      BsonDocument book = new BsonDocument {
          { "author", "Ernest Hemingway" },
          { "title", "For Whom the Bell Tolls" }
      };
  
      var insert = new InsertDelegate(books.Insert);
  
      // invoke the method asynchronously
      IAsyncResult result = insert.BeginInvoke(book, null, null);
  
      //  DO YOUR OWN WORK HERE
  
      // get the result of that asynchronous operation
      insert.EndInvoke(result);
  

Hope that helps.
