Create a new VeiwModel, add the properties that you require to send to your view,
make query to populate the properties from the three relations, and send the ViewModel to the view.

From the view when you need to return the values, do the reverse way, i.e. map each returned field to each your relation properties and save the data.

Hope this will help.

are you using mvc or asp.net web forms?
If you use mvc, then models and viewmodels can be used for communicating between views and controller
if you need some sample let me know

You have three classes and you would like to make a viewmodel of these 3 classes - its easy.
In the viewmodel define the properties that you need to filter the properties from the three class and you can add extra properties for your purpose such as linking to the classes.
Example might be as:
public class ItemCategoryViewModel
{
public item Item { get; set; } //Item class - your definition
public category Category { get; set; } //Category class - your definition
public subcategory Subcategory { get; set; } //SubCategory class - your definition
//add new properties here

public class ItemCategory
{
public string CategoryName { get; set; }
public string SubCategoryName { get; set; }
public string ItemName { get; set; }
//other properties if you need
}
public List<itemcategory> ItemCategories { get; set; } //Enumerable definition

}

after defining this, you can use the viewmodel in your controller methods and views for working with the data.
When you call the viewmodel, instanciate it first.For example
var itemcategoy = new ItemCategoryViewModel.ItemCategory
and then
itemcategoy.CategoryName = [get the categoryname from the database from your category table];
itemcategoy.SubCategoyName = [get the subcategoryname from the database from your sum category table];
itemcategoy.ItemName =[get the ItemName from the database from your Item table];

after that add the information to the list to display
vm.ItemCategories.Add(itemcategoy);

this will give you the Enumerable list of records for your view.

Then in the view you can loop through and display.

@foreach(var item in Model.ItemCategories)
{
<tr>
<td>@item.CategoryName
</td>
<td>
@item.SubCategoryName
</td>

< td >
@item.ItemName
</td>
</tr>
}

Note: Don't forget to include @model <yournamespace>.ItemCategoryViewModel at the top of your view
