使用.Net 在 SQL 服务器中使用 XML 数据类型的最佳方式？

Question

I'm new to using the Xml datatype in SQL Server 2008 and I'm wondering what is the best way of interfacing it with.Net. We are currently using SubSonic ActiveRecord as our ORM, so an XML column will just come back as text.

Are there any libraries out there to assist in querying and making use of the Xml datatype from C#?

Use Xml field in SqlServer with nhibernate NHibernate and XML Column Types

For transparent XML serialization:

<class name="Foo">
  <!-- ... -->
  <property name="Bar" type="DataAccess.NHibernate.Types.XmlSerializedType`1[[DomainModel.Bar, DomainModel]], DataAccess" />
</class>
