Can anyone point me towards a current library that provides basic wrapping of ADO.NET functionality? I’m looking for something along the lines of the old SqlHelper class and am not really interested in using the Data Access Application Block (as it’s a bit of overkill for my simple needs). What is everyone using for working with ADO.NET directly these days?
Update:
I should note that I’m already working with an ORM (Nhibernate); I’ve just run up against a situation that requires raw ADO.NET calls – so no need to suggest using an ORM instead of working with ADO.NET
I ended up going with Fluent Ado.net for this; great little library for doing the simple out-of-band ado.net stuff that pops up every now and then.
