I'm building a .NET CF 3.5 application that will communicate with an server based MS SQL server 2005.

The communication will happen trough the devices's WiFi connection.

I've been looking for a good O/R mapper and am a bit lost. Most sites/people assume that you're going to work with a local compact database and not with an external "normal" SQL server.

In the past, I've worked with entityspaces (but that seems to be commercial now?) and lately with linq-to-sql.

What good easy to learn & implement O/R mappers run on a .NET CF app with normal MS SQL database?

I did this a few years ago with .NET 1.1 and LLBLGen with great success.

    hmmm, is also not free to use. :( – Thomas Stock May 26 '09 at 14:57

    Nope, but it is well worth the price in my opinion. Give it a try though, the code that gets generated isn't limited in the trial. The designer will expire and you won't be able to regen, but you can continue to use what ever was generated in the past. – Bob May 26 '09 at 15:24

    @bob: although in the demo EULA it says that you can't use the generated code after the trial expired ;) I'm not THAT generous, Bob ;) – Frans Bouma May 26 '09 at 19:16
  • Frans, how, HOW do you do it? Do you ever sleep? Do you have clones? How are you everywhere like this and still have time to write LLBLGen, which is awesome product by the way. – Chris Craft May 27 '09 at 14:38
