I am using MongoDB and I am attempting to save and it just does not return??

this is my controller:

public ActionResult doSomething(FormCollection collection)
        {
           if (collection == null || collection.Count == 0)
                return View(Tenant);

           var acct = new Account();

           var whitelist = new String[]{"Name"};
           TryUpdateModel(acct, whitelist, collection.ToValueProvider());

           Tenant.Name = acct.Name;

           Tenant.Save();              


           return View(Tenant);
        }

and this is the Save method:

public override void Save(){
    var acct = Application.Session.GetCollection<Account>();
     acct.Save(this);
 }

when it hits the line acct.Save(), it never returns. Any clue why this might happen?

• mongodb

The problem was that I was trying to use DateTime to store data as a MongoObject but MongoDB only has the following data types:

Integer (32-bit signed value) Long (64-bit signed value) Double (64-bit IEEE754 fp value) String

Unless you are using safe mode, this does not return (well, returns a null), see:

http://api.mongodb.org/csharp/1.4/html/2cdf9e5b-d850-994f-c6ba-54ded02c7589.htm

This is generally how MongoDB works, i.e. using a "fire and forget" methodology for writes/updates by default. If you want to have your application block or wait around for a result then the safe mode or write concern methods are there so you can do so.
