Try This.

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(5),FileKey) + ' - ' + Title + ' ' + FirstName + ' ' + MiddleName + ' ' + LastName
FROM YourTableName

See this

C#

DECLARE @tbl as table (FileKey nvarchar(10),Title  nvarchar(10),FirstName  nvarchar(10),MiddleName  nvarchar(10),LastName nvarchar(10))
INSERT INTO @tbl 
SELECT '1','Mr','Tim','','Adikari'
UNION
SELECT '2', 'Ms','Sue','','Andrew'
UNION
SELECT '3', 'Mr','Mathew','William','Anyalai'
UNION
SELECT '3', 'Mrs','Elaine','June','Blazejczyk'
UNION
SELECT '4', 'Mr','Scott','Alfred','Bond'
UNION
SELECT '4', 'Mr','Tony','','Bromwich'


SELECT p1.FileKey,
      ( SELECT Title + ' ' + FirstName + ' ' +  MiddleName + ' ' + LastName + ','
          FROM @tbl p2
         WHERE p2.FileKey = p1.FileKey
         ORDER BY FileKey
           FOR XML PATH('') ) AS Products
  FROM @tbl p1
 GROUP BY FileKey ;

Replace

@tbl

in above query with your actual table name.

with cte
as
(
SELECT * FROM yourtablename
)

SELECT p1.FileKey,
(SELECT Title + '-' + FirstName + ' ' + MiddleName + ' ' + LastName + ','
FROM cte p2
WHERE p2.FileKey = p1.FileKey
ORDER BY FileKey
FOR XML PATH('') ) AS FullName
FROM cte p1
GROUP BY FileKey ;

I have used common table expression
