Session: Opening a session

To open synchronous session use OpenSession method from DocumentStore or OpenAsyncSession if you prefer working in asynchronous manner.

Syntax

There are three overloads of OpenSession method

// Open session for a 'default' database configured in 'DocumentStore'
IDocumentSession OpenSession();

// Open session for a specified database
IDocumentSession OpenSession(string database);

IDocumentSession OpenSession(OpenSessionOptions options);

First method is a equivalent of doing

store.OpenSession(new OpenSessionOptions());

Second method is a equivalent of doing

store.OpenSession(new OpenSessionOptions
					  {
						  Database = databaseName
					  });

Example I

using (IDocumentSession session = store.OpenSession())
{
	// code here
}

Example II

using (IAsyncDocumentSession session = store.OpenAsyncSession())
{
	// async code here
}

Remarks

Always remember to release session allocated resources after usage by invoking Dispose method or wrapping session object in using statement.
