SQL Server CLR Trigger with SMO or Linq?

I've been looking at the possibility of creating a CLR trigger for insert, but every tutorial found gives me examples of using ado.net objects to do the logic - this is not very convenient way..(I don't think I have to 开发者_运维知识库convince anyone about that)

I was wondering if maybe there is another way for doing this? SMO? Linq? Anything except plain ADO.NET ?

SQL Server only supports a small subset of CLR assemblies Supported .NET Framework Libraries:

• CustomMarshalers
• Microsoft.VisualBasic
• Microsoft.VisualC
• mscorlib
• System
• System.Configuration
• System.Data
• System.Data.OracleClient
• System.Data.SqlXml
• System.Deployment
• System.Security
• System.Transactions
• System.Web.Services
• System.Xml
• System.Core.dll
• System.Xml.Linq.dll

LINQ is supported, but LINQ.Data is not, so you can use linq over objects not linq 2 sql.
