• interlinq
• DbLinq

If you want Visual Studio integration and designer you should check MindScape LightSpeed. Though I doubt it will work with express edition, it provides free edition for small database.

An answer to this question on the Microsoft Forums would indicate that you can.

Yes, you can.

Use LINQ for NHibernate.

You can use Entity Framework and Connector/Net.

Connector/Net is the managed ADO.Net provider for MySQL and has support for Entity Framework (this was added in version 6.0, the connector is at 6.1 at the moment).

In order to do that, check out these links:

• MySQL Connector/Net
• MSDN Microsoft QuickStart to Entity Framework

Just install the connector, follow the quickstart and you'll be ready to work with Entity Framework.
