Insert Multiple Documents

You can insert multiple documents into a collection by using the synchronous InsertMany() method or the asynchronous InsertManyAsync() method.

Example

The following example inserts multiple documents into the restaurants collection.

Select the Synchronous or Asynchronous tab to see the corresponding code.

// Generates 5 new restaurants by using a helper method
var restaurants = GenerateDocuments();
// Inserts the new documents into the restaurants collection
_restaurantsCollection.InsertMany(restaurants);

For a fully runnable example of the InsertMany() operation, see the InsertMany code sample.

// Generates 5 new restaurants by using a helper method
var restaurants = GenerateDocuments();
// Asynchronously inserts the new documents into the restaurants collection
await _restaurantsCollection.InsertManyAsync(restaurants);

For a fully runnable example of the InsertManyAsync() operation, see the InsertManyAsync code sample.

Expected Result

After running either of the preceding full examples, the output is as follows:

Number of restaurants found before insert: 0
Inserting documents...
Number of restaurants inserted: 5
