ADO.NET

Nice Pick

Developers should learn ADO

Pros

• NET when building
• Related to: c-sharp, sql-server

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

NHibernate

Developers should learn NHibernate when building

Pros

• NET applications that require complex data models and database interactions, as it simplifies data access by eliminating much of the boilerplate SQL code
• Related to: c-sharp, object-relational-mapping

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use ADO.NET if: You want net when building and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use NHibernate if: You prioritize net applications that require complex data models and database interactions, as it simplifies data access by eliminating much of the boilerplate sql code over what ADO.NET offers.

The Bottom Line

ADO.NET wins

Developers should learn ADO
