My C# Windows Service ( It’s a service, not a MVC web application!) needs to talk to MYSQL database. In order to ease my data layer effort I am thinking about using an ORM for this purpose.
So which .Net ORM works most well with MYSQL database? NHibernate? Subsonic? Entity Framework ? LINQ2SQL? Or others?
Edit: I use .Net 3.5
Edit 2: Open source solution preferred.
I’m completely biased, but I’d go NHibernate. I’ve managed, with some tweaking, to get the same DAL code working with Access (for CD delivery), Sql Server (for corporate), and MySql (for the laugh of it). This is a few years back now, and I did have to make sure that the field/table names were valid in all environments. Other than that NHibernate did the rest – brilliant.
