I come from a Java background and am getting more into .NET, what are some good libraries to use in my DAO layers? I'm used to using MyBatis (this appears to exist but not in a real full release). I've used Hibernate, which apparently exists in .NET but I'd rather avoid a full POJO style object mapper. I'd really like a library that is query based like MyBatis. Does anyone have some suggestions?
I really like the latest entity framework by microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ef.aspx. They've made great progress with it.
