I would like to build a new web application using ASP.NET MVC3 and MongoDB.

I would like to build a new web application using ASP.NET MVC3 and MongoDB. I’ve seen many examples online and even built some working code myself, but I am wondering about how I should set up my application. In the MVC examples which use Entity Framework, they place everything in a Models folder. I think I will do the same but where should I put my queries etc. Should I abstract them to a better location. I’m somewhat new to making C# applications and the .NET world, so some of the “ways” are not clear to me yet. Also, does creating the database object (where I tell it mongo’s server address) each time I need it have performance impacts? Can I just connect once and then talk through that object? Does it really reconnect every time I perform that action?

Thanks!

    Normally, in your Model, you have an object model representing your domain.

    With MongoDB, this does not change. Your objects in your model will still have properties and behaviors.

    What will change, is that instead of storing each object in a table in a relationnal model, you will be storing a graph of objects. Let’s say you have an invoice. You will store the Invoice, with all the lines of the invoice as a single record. That’s about it, not really more complicated than that.
