Missing Method Exception MongoDB C# driver

Question

I am getting the following error with the latest MongoDB C# driver.

System.MissingMethodException MongoDB.Bson.GuidRepresentationMode MongoDB.Bson.BsonDefaults.get_GuidRepresentationMode()

The exception occurs in MongoClient:

var client = new MongoClient("mongodb+srv://____:___@_____.nrzff.mongodb.net/____?retryWrites=true&w=majority");
var database = client.GetDatabase("ResultsModelSummary");
var collection = database.GetCollection<BsonDocument>("Zones");   
var bsonDocList = new List<BsonDocument>();
foreach (var r in resModSums) {
    var bsonDoc = BsonDocument.Parse(Serialization.Serialize<ResultsModelSummary>(r));
    bsonDocList.Add(bsonDoc);
}

collection.InsertManyAsync(bsonDocList);   

public class ResultsModelSummary
    {
        // META
        public string RunID { get; set; } // this is a stringified GUID
        public string TimeStamp { get; set; }
        // more fields .....
    }

The exception actually occurs irregularly. Sometimes the above code works fine.

Any suggestions?

Adding more information:

Answer 1

I had the same problem, and it turned out that I had MongoDB references with different versions. I removed the references and added them back, making sure that the versions were all the latest ones and voila, it started working.

Answer 2

Are you using .NET Aspire? I had the same problem, and here's what I did.

For .NET Aspire's client for MongoDB, there are two package versions :

- Aspire.MongoDB.Driver.v3 (version 9.3.0)

- Aspire.MongoDB.Driver (version 9.3.0)

I had to :

1. Uninstall Aspire.MongoDB.Driver

2. Install Aspire.MongoDB.Driver.v3

3. Rename GuidRepresentationMode to GuidRepresentation in my code.
