Answer 1

One of good tool to convert SQL to Linq : Linqer

Try out this query

var q = (from r in Room 
            join v in Reservation on r.RoomID equals v.RoomID  into outer
            from o in outer.DefaultIfEmpty()
            where !(o.Date_Check_Out<= startdate || o.Date_Check_In>=endDate)
                  && v.cancel == 0 && v.ReservationID == null 
            select r);

Also check this :

See SQL to LINQ Tool existing thread.

If you decide to do it by hand, Linqpad should be useful.

Something like:

DateTime startDate, EndDate;

var bookings = from r in Rooms
               join v in Reservation
                   on r.RoomID equals v.RoomID into RoomReservation 
                  from v in RoomReservation.DefaultIfEmpty()
               where
               (Date_Check_Out < startDate || Date_Check_In > endDate)
               select r;
