Answer 1

You can do it as following:

class ProjectInfo
{
    public string Name {get; set; }
    public long Id {get; set; }

    ProjectInfo(string n, long id)
    {
        name = n;   Id = id;
    }
}

public List<ProjectInfo> GetProjectForCombo()
{
    using (MyDataContext db = new MyDataContext (DBHelper.GetConnectionString()))
    {
         var query = from pro in db.Projects
                    select new ProjectInfo(pro.ProjectName,pro.ProjectId);

         return query.ToList<ProjectInfo>();
    }
}
