I'm a big fan of micro-ORMs myself. WinForms and VB.NET may both be a bit antiquated to some, but it's good to know these mini-frameworks are usable everywhere!

I really dig micro-orms as well, my main beef is that so many of them lack proper foreign key support! I end up writing a ton of logic just to handle relationships...seems to defeat the purpose ;-)
Regardless, each micro-orm I've seen has been very impressive in how succinctly they allow you to work with data.

Dapper does a pretty good job of foreign key support, I believe. :-)

Massive looks good. I will try it when I have the chance.

Yeah, do all by all means! And please let me know what your judgement is. Not sure how it comes to Dapper to be fair, but I've heard good things about both...

I agree completely, and I love how he even says something like "let's not get adventurous" in reference to changing the language. Awesome way to diffuse a potential situation.
