I need get all items what have no categories

int? categoryId = null;
var items=db.Items.Where(x=>x.CategoryId==categoryId);

this code generate in where:

where CategoryId=null

instead of

where CategoryId is null

ok, when i write

var items=db.Items.Where(x=>x.CategoryId==null);

in my sql profiler it works:

where CategoryId is null

BUT when i do this HACK it doesn't:

var items=db.Items.Where(x=>x.CategoryId==(categoryId.HasValue ? categoryId : null));

so what's the problem? is there by in L2S?
