Hi,

We're looking for recommendations for an object-relational mapping
product that will work with Microsoft's Data Access Layer and is
either free or very reasonable. We have a very complex database and
would need a robust product able to map complex objects. We are
currently using a custom framework that turns our object "reads" into
hundreds of "select" statements. We'd prefer to use a stored
procedure approach which is driving our decision to "shop".

We've done a tiny bit of research and plan to check out nHibernate
and .NetTiers first. We would love feedback from anyone who has used
either of these. We're just beginning the search and will be
downloading trials/demos, so please save us some time if we should
stay away from any really bad ones!

thanks,
Deanna
 
I'm guessing they didn't use a focus group to come up with that name though.

LOL, yes, I am breaking my tongue each time I pronounce it.
But the unpronounceable name is the only weak spot of the product :-)
