Check out the related post: How do you perform a CROSS JOIN with LINQ to SQL?.

You could achieve this in the following way:

string result = string.Join("<br>", 
                    from username in names
                    from rolename in roles
                    where IsUserInRole(username, rolename)
                    select username + ":" + rolename);

Off the top of my head (not tested):

var result = string.Join("<br>",names.SelectMany(n =>
       roles.Where(r => IsUserInRole(n, r)).Select(r => n + " : " + r))):
