Answer 1

Yes. You can use whatever you want for your model layer. Note, you can use raw SQL queries with LINQ To SQL as well.

Northwnd db = new Northwnd(@"c:\northwnd.mdf");
IEnumerable<Customer> results = db.ExecuteQuery<Customer>
(@"SELECT c1.custid as CustomerID, c2.custName as ContactName
    FROM customer1 as c1, customer2 as c2
    WHERE c1.custid = c2.custid"
);

Or perhaps your instructor wants straight up ADO.NET, which works fine too.
There is an example here.
