MongoDB: Getting the list of all databases?

Question

How do I list all databases for a connection using Mongo C# Driver?

Answer 1

Working Solution:

MongoClient client = new MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017");
using (IAsyncCursor<BsonDocument> cursor = client.ListDatabases())
{
    while (cursor.MoveNext())
    {
        foreach (var doc in cursor.Current)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(doc["name"]); // database name
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

The MongoServer class was deprecated in version 2.0.0 as Juri pointed out. If you don't want to use async, here's how I do it:

var client = new MongoClient("mongodb://" + server_username + ":" + server_password + "@" + server_host + ":" +  server_port);

List<MongoDB.Bson.BsonDocument> databases = client.ListDatabases();

Just one thing. It is in BsonDocument format that has 2 elements: "name" and "sizeOnDisk".

Hope this helps.
