 public class Task

        public byte[] Image { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }  
    }

i would like to know all tasks which has a certain List ID using LINQ queries

Answer 1

Try

var result = Menus.Where(menu => menu.ID == id)
                  .Select(menu => menu.Tasks)
                  .FirstOrDefault();

Also you may want to peruse http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/101-LINQ-Samples-3fb9811b as this would answer most of your queries like the above.

Answer 2

You can use Enumerable.Where

var list = Tasks.Where(l=>l.ID ==x);

or

   var list = from t in Tasks
              where t.ID == x
              select t;

x will be the id you need to compare
