NHibernate is a port of an another popular Java project. The original, Hibernate, is a very highly regarded OR mapping framework for Java. I have been looking for an open OR mapping framework for .Net for a while now. I always wondered why a port of Hibernate had not surfaced. This is great news for me. I was just about to start a small pet project in .Net and had decided to use XML for persistence. Now I think I will use MS SQL Server just to try out NHibernate. :-) I will post more on this as I develop my little app.

Here is a quick start guide to get you started.

Update: It seems NHibernate has been around for a while. I just found out about it. There is also a couple of other open OR mappers OJB.NET based on apache's OJB and Gentle.Net.
