Success with ORM Tools?

I am just curious what developers are using for object relational mapping tools? BugNET's DAL in 0.8 is based on an abstract class which will allow people to implement those methods to create a new data access layer for a different provider, say sql lite.

I examined some ORM tools and really like what some of them do but always some pitfall which makes me not want to use them. What are others using? Is it worth the switch for an existing application?

I think the best and easy to use solution for ORM now is LINQ to SQL. For more advanced business lawer - Entity Framework (LINQ to Entities).

Re: Success with ORM Tools?

I have created my own mapper based on class fields attributes that are mapped to db. Works pretty well, near automatic, and was used in some quite big projects. But as for .NET 3 and LINQ I'm seriously considering switching to LINQ to SQL, as this is going to be the fastest way to create object mappings to db. btw: would you like to stay with .NET 2.0 or will BugNET move forward to .NET 3.5 ?

Re: Success with ORM Tools?

I owe a .NET development company and for last few year we have used our own ORM, that was quite easy to use and well functioning.

But for now we are in the process of switching to new technologies eg. ASP.NET MVC and the Entity Framework with LINQ. Both of those provide rapid application development and still allows to maintain code details.
LINQ to SQL will not be developed anymore, MS is going to support Entity Framework only (which is more powerfull).
