ADO.NET has different meanings to different people; if you mean the "core" ADO.NET services, i.e. the provision of a connection/command/parameter/reader, then for a database implementation you might struggle - but why would you want to use a completely separate stack? ADO.NET fulfils that role admirably.

If, by ADO.NET, you mean data-set, data-table, data-adapter etc; then indeed - don't use that stuff ;p Whether you use an ORM, a micro-ORM, or whatever else - yes, there are lots of tools that can give you a better experience of loading your data, without using DataTable.

If you aren't using a RDBMS, then the world is your mollusc; any number of nosql connectors are around; please be specific and people will help.

The choice of which tool to use is a: dependent on what you want to do, and b: somewhat subjective - so you'll notice I haven't mentioned any specific tools. The question is too much like walking into a hardware store and saying "I need a tool, but I don't want to use a spanner"...

Difficult to really answer your question with no reasons why you want to do it.

in my opinion as long as you do not reference

Syste.Data.*

in your project, you are not using ADO.NET.

if you want to connect to a database of another vendor which gives you a custom implementation of everything ( connection wrappers, data containers etc etc ) then you connect using their assemblies and not ADO.NET

not sure about the way ODBC is handled, in theory you can create anything from scratch meaning you can use System.IO and access to the disk at byte level and read what you need, not sure this is the best way to go.
