I am looking for an OSS data access block for using with .Net and Sql Server.

I've use Ent Lib in the past, but wondered if anyone could recommend anything else?

+2  A: 
  • NHibernate.
  • BLToolkit.

All you need. NHibernate for most things, BLToolkit for the more specific rare occurances.

I currently use Entity Framework and have used Linq2Sql and NHibernate in the past, but I am just looking for something for my toolbelt for those occasions where a client will not allow us to use an ORM.Can NHibernate be used in that way?

No. Check BLToolkit. Pretty nice low level framework, fast, easy to work with. I use it when an ORM is not feasible for various reasons.

ok cool, thanks TomTom!
