Answer 1

Presumably you want to avoid creating the attributes if c.Menu_Name and c.Target_URL are null? If so, you can do it as follows:

new XElement("MyMenu",
  from c in db.Security_Module_Menus
  orderby c.Menu_ID
  select new XElement("Item",
    c.Menu_Name == null ? null : new XAttribute("Text", c.Menu_Name),
    c.Target_URL == null ? null : new XAttribute("NavigateUrl", c.Target_URL))
  )
