//create a new collection
var collection = await database.CreateCollectionAsync<SimpleObject>("YourCollectionNameHere");

//insert a document into the collection
var documents = new List<SimpleObject>
{
    new SimpleObject()
    {
        Name = "Test Object 1",
    },
    new SimpleObject()
    {
        Name = "Test Object 2",
    }
};
var insertResult = await collection.InsertManyAsync(documents);

//find a document
var filter = Builders<SimpleObject>.Filter.Eq(so => so.Name, "Test Object 1");
var results = await collection.Find(filter);
