To get an answer, rephrase your question so that it can be given an unambiguously correct answer, or delete the question altogether. If the question can be reformulated according to the rules set out in the certificate , edit it .

Entity Framework and NHibernate. If I'm not mistaken, LINQ to SQL is dead and does not develop.

If the work is done through with Access databases, then you can use Interop.

Dapper is a good mini ORM. Using this code simplifies the code. For example, working with parameters is easier.

    With the Entity Framework, you can work with the database through a DataGridView in Windows Forms, similar to a DataSet in ADO.NET

      LINQ (Language Integrated Query)
