Cannot connect .NET app with MongoDB (System.MissingMethodException: Method not found:)

I am simply trying to connect my MongoDB cluster with my .NET app, but when I test my routes with swagger i get this error:

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'MongoDB.Bson.GuidRepresentationMode MongoDB.Bson.BsonDefaults.get_GuidRepresentationMode()'.
   at MongoDB.Driver.MongoUrlBuilder..ctor()
   at MongoDB.Driver.MongoUrlBuilder..ctor(String url)
   at Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.MongoOptionsExtension.SanitizeConnectionStringForLogging(String connectionString)
   at Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.MongoOptionsExtension.WithConnectionString(String connectionString)
   at Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.MongoDbContextOptionsExtensions.UseMongoDB(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder, String connectionString, String databaseName, Action1 optionsAction)

What I am trying to do is to add a simple item to my database to check my connection, and I am doing this within my Program.cs file so it does it only once.

Here are my files:

Program.cs

using backend.Data;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using backend.Models;
using MongoDB.Driver;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews();

var mongoDBSettings = builder.Configuration.GetSection("MongoDBSettings").Get<MongoDBSettings>() 
    ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("MongoDBSettings section is not configured");

builder.Services.Configure<MongoDBSettings>(builder.Configuration.GetSection("MongoDBSettings"));

builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDBContext>(options => 
    options.UseMongoDB(mongoDBSettings.AtlasURI, mongoDBSettings.DatabaseName));

builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen();


var app = builder.Build();

// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseSwagger();
    app.UseSwaggerUI();
}

app.UseHttpsRedirection();

app.MapPost("/api/test-book", async (ApplicationDBContext context) =>
{
    try
    {
        var testBook = new Book
        {
            Title = "Test Book",
            Author = "Test Author",
            Pages = 100
        };

        context.Books.Add(testBook);
        await context.SaveChangesAsync();

        return Results.Ok(new { message = "Test book added successfully", book = testBook });
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return Results.BadRequest(new { message = $"Error adding book: {ex.Message}" });
    }
});

// You can also add a GET endpoint to verify the book was added
app.MapGet("/api/test-book", async (ApplicationDBContext context) =>
{
    var books = await context.Books.ToListAsync();
    return Results.Ok(books);
});

app.Run();

Another error i started getting on my terminal whenever running the app is

The type 'IMongoClient' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'MongoDB.Driver, Version=2.25.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. [/Users/rakibulb/Documents/ComputerScience/PortfolioProjects/Web/book-management/backend/backend.csproj]

Your project references

• MongoDB.Driver version 3.0.0 and
• MongoDB.EntityFrameworkCore version 8.0.0

In version 3.0.0 of the driver, the GuidRepresentationMode property has been removed (per the release notes).

MongoDB.EntityFrameworkCore expects a driver version of 2.25 and above, so that it thinks it can use v3.0 also, but fails when using properties that have been removed in v3.0.

After an update of MongoDB.EntityFrameworkCore to version 8.2.0, this should be fixed.
