Document based database for .NET [closed]

Question

I would like to use some kind of nosql database in my web application which is written in asp.net mvc , but cannot find anything useful. I have a looked at MongoDB and CouchDB but i'd like to have better api (strongly typed not magic strings) for my queries than they have. Is anything like this exists for .NET ?

I'm the principle author behind the .Net driver for Mongo. There isn't currently a ORM like mapper for it yet. Instead it works on simple documents that are the equivalent of a dictionary. It wouldn't be hard to use reflection to iterate over the fields in a document and assign them to properties on an object. I've written a simple thing like that for LDAP results in the past. You don't have to worry about sql injection with Mongo as there really isn't a query language that gets parsed. All drivers talk to Mongo in its native tongue. There is some potential if you dynamically generate javascript and send it to the DB but the need for that should mostly be rare. If you have any questions about using the driver feel free to post them to the Google Group or send a message through GitHub.
