I’m developing an application in C# that will use and store geographic locations using the data type “Geography” in SQL Server 2008. I was planning to use the Entity Framework but soon discovered it lacks support for spatial data. Does anyone have experience with or know of other OR mappers with spatial support?

The system will have few writes and many reads of geographical data.
What is a good/preffered way to read/write spatial/Geography data from C#?

    SketchPad is a simple drawing editor
    that allows you to create elementary
    geometric shapes, and model them as entities
    using either the Entity Framework or
    LINQ to SQL. You can create, read, and
    delete shapes, and use the built-in
    spatial index to search for entities
    by attribute value.
