MongoDb C# driver already has a lot of features however it still can be improved.
One particular idea is to use strongly typed id field instead of generic ObjectId type which will lead to checking correct id type at a compile-time and not in a run-time. For example, using id of this type you can ensure that you pass id of a product to a GetProductById method. Here is how it can be implemented (requires MongoDb c# driver) :
MongoDb requires id fields to be initialized when document is saved to database and in order to make developer's life easier and the code cleaner they provide mechanism for generation id when it does not exist. Here is its implementation for id:
After that id field can be declared in a following way. Note that after generator attribute has been set there is no need to set product id in a product constructor - it will be created when entity is saved to the database.

Writing multiline log messages into single line in NLog
I prefer to avoid writing single log message into several lines. Doing that allows me to analyze my logs using console tools like grep more efficiently.
While it is easy to meet this convention in custom log messages, user has to solve this problem for text which is put by several Nlog layout renderers, for example exception stacktrace renderer. To solve this problem I use replace layout wrapper. Take a look to a following nlog config: In this example I use my custom verbose_inline layout that replaces all newlines to "->" string. After that I can easily sort out statistics for e.g. specific exception using grep command like:
