Effin, the smallest ORM ever. Requires no mapping! http://mhinze.com/simple-reads

Effin.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.Entity;

public static class Effin
{
    public static IEnumerable<T> Query<T>(this string connectionStringName, string sql, params object[] parameters)
    {
        return new DbContext(connectionStringName).Database.SqlQuery<T>(sql, parameters);
    }
}

public class Example
{
    public void UsingEffin()
    {
        IEnumerable<Name> names = "data".Query<Name>("select FirstName from Person");

        foreach (var name in names)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(name.FirstName);
        }
    }

    public class Name
    {
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
    }
}
