Answer 1

Try This One:

var itms=from item in CMP.tblItems
         from g in CMP.tblProducts
         where item.Name.Contains(Model) && item.ProductID == g.ProductID && g.CategoryID == CatID
         select new {item.Name};

Answer 2

Use the navigation properties that LINQ-to-SQL creates for you. Item should have property Product . So you can simply do this:

var itms = from item in CMP.tblItems
    where item.Name.Contains(Model) && item.Product.CategoryID = CatId
    select new { item.Name };
