Syntax

Copy

public class MongoClient : MongoClientBase

Public Class MongoClient
	Inherits MongoClientBase

type MongoClient =  
    class
        inherit MongoClientBase
    end

The MongoClient type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	MongoClient	Initializes a new instance of the MongoClient class.
	MongoClient(String)	Initializes a new instance of the MongoClient class. In .NET Standard, authenticating via SCRAM-SHA-256 may not work with non-ASCII passwords because SaslPrep is not fully implemented due to the lack of a string normalization function in .NET Standard 1.5. Normalizing the password into Unicode Normalization Form KC beforehand MAY help. SCRAM-SHA-1 is the recommended alternative for now.
	MongoClient(MongoClientSettings)	Initializes a new instance of the MongoClient class. In .NET Standard, authenticating via SCRAM-SHA-256 may not work with non-ASCII passwords because SaslPrep is not fully implemented due to the lack of a string normalization function in .NET Standard 1.5. Normalizing the password into Unicode Normalization Form KC beforehand MAY help. SCRAM-SHA-1 is the recommended alternative for now.
	MongoClient(MongoUrl)	Initializes a new instance of the MongoClient class. In .NET Standard, authenticating via SCRAM-SHA-256 may not work with non-ASCII passwords because SaslPrep is not fully implemented due to the lack of a string normalization function in .NET Standard 1.5. Normalizing the password into Unicode Normalization Form KC beforehand MAY help. SCRAM-SHA-1 is the recommended alternative for now.
