MongoDB - can't use .explain() to get query info in C# code?

Question

I'm using Mongo 2.2. How can I access the query info using C#?

Currently have the following to get my data:

 var records = _collection.Find(filters).ToList<Vehicle>();

I was trying to add a .explain() similarily to what I can do in Robomongo at the end of my query:

var records = _collection.Find(filters).explain();

However, it does not exist, I believe because its not a cursor. Does anyone know how I can get this query data in C#?

which mongo driver are you using fro C#? and why you want this result in C# as this info is only about query statistics — Wasiq Muhammad, Sep 28 '16 at 09:20
Drivers: MongoDb.Bsonv(2.2.4), MongoDb.Driver(v2.2.4), MongoDb.Driver.Core(v2.2.4) - I need it as we want to see exactly what query is executed in the Application. — Evgeny Lukiyanov, Sep 28 '16 at 09:23

There is .Explain() method of MongoCursor class resulting from FindAs() method of MongoCollection class. I found an answer from this link.

var qLinq = Query<T>.Where(x => x.name=="jim");

var exp = Collection.FindAs<T>(qLinq).Explain()
