Element does not match nay field or property of Class – MongoDb and .net core

Hey everyone,

I ran into the following error today while searching MongoDb for an object:

The issue was that there were extra fields on the returned document that were not specified on the mapping target object. A bit of Googling revealed that there is a provided attribute that allows you to ignore all extra fields.

Simply add [BsonIgnoreExtraElements] to any relevant model definitions.
