re: Which ORM? LINQ To SQL, Entity Framework? LLBLGen? NHibernate?…?

Just wanted to give my 2 cents. I have used NHibernate, LLBLgen and i was the original creator of some very popular code smith templates for data access...

LLBLGen wins hands down. The learning curve is actually pretty low. For instance, i decided to write a complex query in Nhibernate, it took me 40 minutes. I decided to try the same one in LLBLGen, took me 5 minutes...i had no idea how to write query in either ORM.

That was 2 years ago, and i have never looked back!

You cannot easily convert a web application back to website as per my understanding.

Are you sure you are openning the new project you created not the old website?

So I followed these instructions. Every time I open the application after that it immediately converts it to a website and I need to start the process all over again. any suggestions?

Seems like the PDF is not yet updated in CodePlex. There are 28 chapters in MSDN website and in the codeplex its only 21. also the version seems to be from 18 Jan 2009

For LINQ to NHibernate, it's still quite early.

Read the answers from NHibernate group to my question about it here:

groups.google.com/.../2012edb04ee7e762

Linq To LLBLGen Pro is a huge investment though (although as mentioned above that I like LLBLGen Pro API more). Frans Bouma (the man behind LLBLGen Pro) blogged about it in over 14 detailed parts here:

weblogs.asp.net/.../default.aspx

But still, NHibernate is way better than Microsoft LINQ Providers (L2S, EF). but still, LLBLGen is better - if your company can invest in it, and I know it's not the case for some companies.

Based on various comments I saw on the web NHibernate seems to have Linq issues. I am told that writing a linq provider is a large undertaking which could account for these issues.

I think that NHibernate is a great long term investment. I took the time to learn it and I never looked back.

It is very powerful and has so many features that it can be confusing for a new user. In that case, I recommend getting the book NHibernate in Action.

You can have a painless start using attributes for mapping (no xml needed) and LINQ (no new Query API to learn).

Once, you are confortable with it, you will welcome its advanced features (great support for legacy databases, contributions related to sharding, lucene full text search, GIS integration, etc.)
