Devart LINQ Insight
« Reply #4 on: July 01, 2013, 03:17:48 PM »
LINQ Insight is a Visual Studio add-in that provides a complete set of tools that make LINQ/ORM development faster and easier, and helps you to produce more efficient data access code. It allows executing LINQ queries at design-time directly from Visual Studio without starting a debug session, allowing you to test queries instantly after you write them. LINQ Insight also provides a powerful ORM profiler tool for profiling the data access layer of your projects and tracking all the ORM calls and database queries from the ORM.

Devart dotConnect Universal
« Reply #5 on: July 01, 2013, 03:21:44 PM »
dotConnect Universal offers universal access to data of different databases for the Microsoft .NET Framework. It supports most of major database servers, including Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, InterBase, and Firebird. Other servers can be accessed through their ADO.NET, OLE DB and ODBC providers.

dotConnect Universal is based on ADO.NET technology and can be used in the same way as the SQL Server .NET Data Provider. The main feature of dotConnect Universal is an access to multiple database servers at the same code. With dotConnect Universal it is possible to avoid writing conditional code for different providers or using ADO.NET interfaces directly. dotConnect Universal implements full support of design-time development and integration with IDE, which allows to reduce development time greatly.

Devart Entity Developer
« Reply #6 on: July 01, 2013, 03:26:42 PM »
Entity Developer is a powerful ORM modeling and code generation tool for NHibernate, ADO.NET Entity Framework, LinqConnect, and LINQ to SQL. You can use Model-First and Database-First approaches to design your model and generate C# or Visual Basic .NET code for it. It introduces new approaches for designing ORM models, boosts productivity, and facilitates the development of database applications.

Works very well with EF, I have not tried others

LLBLGen Pro)
« Reply #7 on: July 01, 2013, 03:34:20 PM »
LLBLGen Pro is a data-access solution.
You use the LLBLGen Pro Designer to create the entity/domain model, define the mappings and generate source-code for one of the four supported O/R mapping frameworks: Entity Framework, NHibernate, Linq to SQL or the LLBLGen Pro Runtime Framework.
You use the generated code combined with the O/R mapping framework of your choice to access your database and consume the data in that database.

http://www.llblgen.com/

Note
Some developers say that the LLBLGen Pro Runtime Framework is the best ORM, and surely they are right, but to create EF models I think it's better Devart Entity developer

CodeRush makes it easier to see what's going on with complex code, so you can move forward and spend less time wandering and wondering. Why is that expression's value different from what you expect? When did that local change? How many times have we been through this loop? CodeRush's compelling new debug visualizer effortlessly and instantly answers these questions and more.

Very good.

CodeSite Logging System gives developers deeper insight into how their code is executing, which enables them to locate problems more quickly and ensure their application is running correctly. CodeSite's logging classes let developers capture all kinds of information while their code executes and then send that information to a live display or to a log file. Furthermore, both styles of logging, live logging and file logging, can be performed locally or remotely (via TCP, UDP, or HTTP).
