What ORM for .net should I use?

Question

I\'m relatively new to .NET and have being using Linq2Sql for a almost a year, but it lacks some of the features I\'m looking for now.

I\'m going to start a new pro

Given your requirements, I'd suggest checking out Mindscape LightSpeed. It supports about eight or nine different databases, and is convention driven (with options for configuration), so is very easy to set up. It has a LINQ provider. It allows you to extend the classes with your own properties and methods: in particular it allows you to decouple the persistent model (the fields) from the API (the properties and methods) without breaking the convention over configuration approach.
