A similar kind of question was asked before.

If this is your table:

VB

No Name
1 aaa
1 bbb
2 ccc
1 ddd
3 eee
2 fff

Here goes the query:

SQL

SELECT No,
		SUBSTRING(
		(Select (',' + Name)
		from Temp_Table t2
		where t1.No=t2.No
		order by
		No,
		Name
		FOR xml path( '' ) ),3,1000)
		FROM Temp_Table t1
		group by No

  FROM TempTable1 t2 
  WHERE t1.empID = t2.empID
  ORDER BY t1.empID, t2.empID
