An interesting (though somewhat biased, IMHO) website which compares different ORMs is http://ormbattle.net/.

For info, this side is run by an ORM vendor and has attracted controversy over its measurement methods and test implementations (and in some quarters for the lack of clear disclosure on the part of the vendor). Disclosure: I work for a competing vendor, so I'm biased too \*grin\*.

A Ruby script I made some time ago that was generating all the stuff. Getting the schema from the database, saving it as XML, looping over it and spitting out whatever you convert to a template matching a table. Besides the ORM, there was a lot of UI components, web services, etc. that I added later. I really enjoyed it.

The most prevalent seems to be NHibernate, I imagine due to it's maturity and the fact that it is based on Hibernate for Java. I'm working on learning it now, so that's all i can say about it.
Others in the ORM space are SubSonic and MEF (Entity Framework). I barely know anything about them, other than being NH alternatives.

NHibernate has everything you might need (well almost) and it is open-source

My favorite, and the one I'm using in my current project, is LightSpeed by Mindscape.
It has a great feature set, very good support, and is much more "polished" feeling to use than most of the other options I've tried, including ADO.NET EF and NHibernate/Fluent NHibernate.
