Dapper is great - I promptly dumped NHibernate and Entity Framework for it. It's the only ORM I've found that makes it trivially easy (as it should be) to use stored procedures and views in queries.

+1 for Dapper - I'm a big fan. It is very fast and we use it to serve our live (mostly read-only) traffic, while using something like Entity Framework for the backend Administrative UI, which has a lot of inserts and updates.

  There's a couple of user-contrib projects that do similar things for inserts & updates. Dapper Extensions is the one I'm using. https://github.com/tmsmith/Dapper-Extensions https://github.com/tmsmith/Dapper-Extensions

    I wrote a Dapper extension for working with SQL Server's geospatial queries and types a couple of years ago - have they added anything like that yet? Otherwise I'd be happy to add it.

      Marc Gravell added in the ability to put in pretty much any custom type without adding any dependency weight about a month ago. You can see the commit here: https://github.com/StackExchange/dapper-dot-net/commit/e26ee0abe5bdff561ff59fded87cabb9f5d983a1 https://github.com/StackExchange/dapper-dot-net/commit/e26ee... Look towards the end at the tests for example of how to hook up a custom type (it's pretty simple).

        Cool - the one I wrote was years ago. Looks like it's not necessary any more.
