I would extend this a little. According to MS best practices a Dispose method should not throw an exception. I would put a try/catch (with some logging) around the _client.CloseProxy() call. A resource at work to ask about WCF is Doug E. He can go on at great length about WCF and handling of the proxy :) Kevin,

I have since re-written this application using Ruby on Rails. I still have the MVC3 code laying around, but it's not really polished enough to be hosted anywhere like github. Check out this other post for Mongo and Autofac information - the code is pretty much pulled from my recipe app. http://blog.cleverswine.net/2011/03/08/mvc3-mongodb-autofac/ Thanks Steven.

Do you have this hosted anywhere or the source or something like that on github? I'd love to see a tutorial on how you built this as I'm working with asp.net mvc 3 and mongo now (or i should say learning). Thanks! Steve Hey Kevin,

If you aren't grabbing an entire collection from Mongo, for instance, you wouldn't want to query .ToList() or .ToArray() to force immediate execution. Just found another great post here for anyone interested: http://www.red-badger.com/Blog/post/A-simple-IRepository3cT3e-implementation-for-MongoDB-and-NoRM.aspx I wanted to stress the implementation I link to in the above post is very basic.

All of the current articles / blogs on MongoDb w/ .NET seem to focus more on older syntax or use javascript via db.Eval() rather than focusing on C# (there are already plenty of Mongo / javascript resources out there) I just wanted to note that you could also use the native Mongo drivers without too much more work. Here (https://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-csharp/browse_thread/thread/b4a36650cd919c7c?hl=en) I included the code required for a very basic start with the Mongo C# driver. Don't get me wrong, NoRM is a great library, but you may find yourself in a situation where you'd like to use the officially supported driver (e.g. if your company held a support agreement with 10gen). I should have a more in depth tutorial up on my site within the week where I'll be using ASP.NET MVC3 and MongoDb to create a job search site. I'll also quickly touch on the Geolocation API :) Cheers, Jordan Thanks for the post.

It seems that automotive technology is on the move and anything you buy will be obsolete in just a few years. And once electric or fuel cells take off, who's going to want to buy a gasoline car? That would make it hard to sell too. We were thinking about buying a new car also, but ended up deciding to stick with our current vehicle for at least another year or two.

Susan and I actually went to this demonstration as well for the free vacation with the same assumption that it was legitimate. Don't waste your time trying to claim it, because any date you select will not be available. I can't find the link now, but the Chicago Tribune recently had a story about a lady who tried at least 6 times to claim the vacation, and every time the dates she selected were unavailable. The Tribune tried to help her get the vacation, and the threat of printing the story of their bogus offer was not enough for them to give the lady the vacation. I hope that at least you were able to get some good laughter out of the demonstration. When we went, the guy was hilarious--though humor was not what he was going for. In trying to demonstrate how efficient the pans were, he asked why utility bills go up in the winter. The "right" answer according to him was that you cook more in the winter. The "wrong" answer that I posed was that it's cold outside and you have to heat your home. Hey Kevin!
