please recommend ORM

Question

User-1556678718 posted

Hi,

I need to develop an MVC application and I need it to connect to SQL database. I need to use ORM but shouldn't be entity framework (too inflexible) and shouldn't be ADO.NET (it would have been my choice but they want something newer :( ). Any recommendations please?

Thanks

What do you mean EF is too inflexible?

Can it be that you don't know how to use EF effectively? Yes, there is Nhibernate, which is worst than EF in some regards.

Yeah there is Dapper that I don't even consider it to be an ORM, just a simple object mapper.
