To be honest, I still haven’t decided whether I’m an ORM-guy or a traditional DAL kind of person. Until now I have always worked with regular DAL, and due to various organizational constraints, haven’t had the opportunity to thoroughly check out using ORMs in real-life projects. My heart tends to go towards ORMs due to the OO appeal, but my experience with SQL performance issues forces me to remain skeptical until I’ve seen it work.
Anyways, it seems that if you’re still on the traditional DAL side of the map, CodeSmith has a very interesting solution for building strongly-typed DALs in a very fast and easy manner. I’ll surely try this one out next time I have a new DAL to work on!

Try ActiveRecord (http://www.castleproject.org/index.php/ActiveRecord)
Great framework, and you don't spend any time at all working against the database, you're working against real objects.
