I have a new project and I want to get away from the stored procedure paradigm. I've looked at a couple of the more populate ORM tools out there, but I haven't found anything that really looks like it will fit my needs.

The 1st project is simple, just some forms, user authentication, and user property management. The second is far more complex and will involve heavy usage of XQuery. My intent is to get up to speed on the tool with the first project.

Any recommendations?

Castle.NET

NHIbernate

WilsonORM

ActiveRecord?

Which one will allow me to use XQuery?
