I know this is a simple question and I am yet a newbie.

I want to return data by joning 2 tables. "Products" table and "ProductCategory" Table.

In my DAL I have a "Products" class and also a "ProductCategory" class. So do I have to create a new class that has both properties of the Products class and Product Category class? Isn't there any other efficient way to do that?

I searched the net for a whole day now but i couldn't find an answer. I would be glad if you can provide some help?

Why so complicated ?? You can easily be bounded only with 2 tables.
As far as i understood every products has it's own Product category, doesn't it??
In case of YES, accordingly you must inject additional property to your's ProductCategory like List<product> Products</product>.
Otherwise, in case where ProductCategory play role of link table between 2 tables Products and Categories, My answer will be YES , you need to create new DTO class which will be consists of data.
