I use Devart dotconnect for Postgresql at work and love it. I use it for inserting into and querying a database of regression test results. I also use it for managing a database of crash reports. I can’t say anything bad about it. One of the cool features
I like a lot is the amount of Get<type> functions the PgSqlDataReader class has. There is a GetBoolean() for bools, GetDate() for timestamps etc. It’s also cheap as all can be. It’s 200$ US for a single developer. That gets you the api and the visual developer tools.

Subject: [GENERAL] What is the state of the art for using LINQ with PostgreSQL?
Greetings!
I would like to begin learning to use LINQ with PostgreSQL. Ideally, it would be good to have free tools to do it, since I probably won’t be finished playing with it before 30 days are up and I’d have to pay for something. It would also be good if whatever I use has a good set of tutorials that I can follow to begin using them. Where should I start?
I have found the dotConnect provider from DevArt, and I’m going to begin playing with their free “Express” provider. Does anyone have experience working with DevArt’s tools, and if so, what did you think?
Thanks very much!
RobR
