Create a MongoDB Data Source

• Jan 05, 2026

Prerequisites

1. Install the MongoDB.Driver NuGet package.

2. Register a data connection string provider.

   The Web Dashboard control does not expose connection strings from the configuration file (appsettings.json or Web.config) when used in Designer mode. You need to use a data connection string provider to avoid data leaks and pass connection parameters safely. You can use a predefined data connection string provider or implement a custom provider.
