I have a class as follows:

class Person
{
public String Id

{ get; set; }
public String Name { get; set; }

public Person Mother

{ get; set; }

}

I've implemented a custom serializer for the Mother property to serialize the Id only. The final BSON would look something like this:

[{ "_id": "54df1095fa0bd7122cb2c550", "name": "John", "mother":

{ "_id": "54df1095fa0bd7122cb2c551" }

} ...]

If I try to execute a query to find a person with a given mother as follow:

var results = await collection.Find<Person> (p => p.Mother.Id == "...").ToListAsync ();

The driver complains with the following:

{"Unable to determine the serialization information for the expression: p.Mother.Id."}

Is there a way to add serialization info to the driver so it knows to call my custom serializer to deserialize Person for this type of query?
