Um... in OWL-DL, classes don't have properties. 
Do you mean, the properties of the elements of a 
class?

>I have written something like this: SELECT

>owl:DatatypeProperty. ?x owl:Class :MyClass}

As written, that uses owl:Class as a property 
(the middle item of an RDF triple), but it isn't 
a property (it's a class). So there can't be any 
triples matching the second line of your query, 
which is probably why you don't get any results.

It is also rather odd to have the query variable 
?x in the second triple which does not occur 
anywhere else. Did you intend this to be ?a ??

Im not sure what it is you intend to be asking, 
to tell you the truth. Can you phrase your 
intended query in English?
