Index Data Annotation Support

Hello, well be great, if your project will support Index Data Annotation. For example:

public class MyEntity {
[Index("Index_MyEntity_Name", 1, IsUnique = true)]
public string Name {get;set;}
}

Agreed! I'll have a look into it and see if I can get a change for it in the next week or two.

While I was noting some stuff for me to look at this later, it seems that IndexAttribute actually comes from Entity Framework's library.

I don't want to bring in the entire Entity Framework to have this one attribute so I will need to implement my own index attribute. This is probably a good thing in a way as there are many types of indexes in MongoDB and it is easier to support them from the ground up.

This won't stop me doing this change, just wanted to let you know it might not be exactly what you're expecting.

Sorry for my English. This is what I expect! I believe that such a solution will be the most optimal, within the framework of the current implementation.

I've added initial support for indexing and uploaded a new version of the package to Nuget. It supports single field and compound indexes (for some examples, check out the test project).

Basically adding the IndexAttribute from the MongoFramework.Attributes namespace allows indexes to be built. Indexes however are only applied to the database when the MongoDbSet is saved. I felt that I only wanted to modify the actual database when explicitly told to.

Entity Framework doesn't have this problem because their database changes are applied through migrations and outside of the common code path.

I'd say the API is mostly stable however until I reach 1.0.0, I may still do some API changes to how indexes are defined or updated which likely will not be backwards compatible.

As for the other types of indexes that MongoDB supports, this may come in the future but it isn't a priority for me at the moment.
