Using NHibernate as an ORM Solution for .NET

NHibernate is an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) solution for .NET that provides an easy to use framework for mapping an object-oriented domain model to a traditional relational database. Handling the myriad of database queries and stored procedures for large applications can become a time consuming endeavor for any application developer. NHibernate helps ease that pain by relieving developers from a significant amount of relational data persistence-related programming tasks.
