Question

I have been doing experiments on MongoDB. Collection are as follows(sample).
Project this, in this class of 95th DeleteAlbum line have the function of.

{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "50e34afce4b0bc114fea2a7e"
    },
    "Ad": "Tarkan", //Artist
    "Albums": [
        {
            "_id": {
                "$oid": "50e34afce4b0bc114fea2a4e"
            },
            "Isim": "DUDU", //Name
            "Yil": 2005, //Year
            "Resim": "http://www.gercekpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2003/12/tarkan-dudu.jpg" //Image
        },
        {
            "_id": {
                "$oid": "50e34afce4b0bc114fea2a3e"
            },
            "Isim": "Kuzu Kuzu",
            "Yil": 2008,
            "Resim": "http://o.scdn.co/300/bf6423177c32224f25dc742f3ffe5450e441d68d"
        }
    ]
}

line 75th Add method in CreateAlbum function are working.

 Artist.Albums.Add(Album)
 Return Collection.Save(Artist, SafeMode.True).Ok

but Remove method in DeleteAlbum not work.

Artist.Albums.Remove(album)
Return Collection.Save(sanatci, SafeMode.True).Ok

What should be the method to delete the embedded document?
Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Here’s how you’d remove an element from the Albums array of the first document that contains it by its _id (in C#):

var query = Query.EQ("Albums._id", new ObjectId("50e34afce4b0bc114fea2a4e"));
var update = Update.Pull("Albums", new BsonDocument(){
    { "_id", new ObjectId("50e34afce4b0bc114fea2a4e") }
});
collection.Update(query, update);

I’m not fluent in VB, but your DeleteAlbum method should change to something like:

Public Function DeleteAlbum(Artist As Sanatci, album As Album) As Boolean
    Try
        Return Collection.Update(
            Query.EQ("Albums._id", album._id),
            Update.Pull("Albums", Query.EQ("_id", album._id)), SafeMode.True
        ).Ok
    Catch ex As MongoCommandException
        Dim msgLog As String = ex.Message
        Return False
    End Try
End Function
