Answer 1

As Marc stated you're not constructing instances of myObject when your query is run. But additionally you don't need to cast it to an IQueryable, a LINQ select statment will return an IQueryable unless explicity cast to an IEnumerable.

Also, be careful that your DataContext hasn't been disposed of before you try and access the data being returned. But I noticed your context is not constructed in the method, be careful that you're not maintaining a DataContext for too long, it's a unit-of-work object and not meant to be kept open for long periods of time.
