Data Abstraction Layer

Hi

I'm just about to start designing a quite large system using ADO.NET and Sql
Server. I want to provide an object oriented abstraction of the underlying
database structure.

I've written my own custom data abstraction framework in the past and
although it worked a treat, was very time consuming.

Can anyone recommend any third party frameworks that they have used?

I'm considering using the Type DataSets VS.NET provides and also
ComponentOne's DataObjects.

Any others?

Many thanks

Ben

I'm biased, but you could opt for one of the marketleaders: LLBLGen Pro

Check out the ado.net source code generator in the link below.
It also gives the source code should you want to tweak it.
