I am writing SQL query to get output as below . I am not using any tables from database.
A query to get the desired output as
<Property ID="0" Name="Color" NumOfItems="11">
<Item ID="0" Name="D"/>
<Item ID="1" Name="E"/>
<Item ID="2" Name="F"/>
<Item ID="3" Name="G"/>
<Item ID="4" Name="H"/>
<Item ID="5" Name="I"/>
<Item ID="6" Name="J"/>
<Item ID="7" Name="K"/>
<Item ID="8" Name="L"/>
<Item ID="9" Name="M"/>
<Item ID="10" Name="N"/>
</Property>
I tried as this
SELECT
(
SELECT '0' AS 'Item/#ID','D' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '1' AS 'Item/#ID','E' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '2' AS 'Item/#ID','F' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '3' AS 'Item/#ID','G' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '4' AS 'Item/#ID','H' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '5' AS 'Item/#ID','I' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '6' AS 'Item/#ID','J' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '7' AS 'Item/#ID','K' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '8' AS 'Item/#ID','L' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '9' AS 'Item/#ID','M' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ),
(SELECT '10' AS 'Item/#ID','N' AS 'Item/#Name' FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE )
FOR XML PATH(''),
ROOT('Property'),TYPE

Well just SELECT it...
SELECT CAST ('<Property ID="0" Name="Color" NumOfItems="11">
<Item ID="0" Name="D"/>
<Item ID="1" Name="E"/>
<Item ID="2" Name="F"/>
<Item ID="3" Name="G"/>
<Item ID="4" Name="H"/>
<Item ID="5" Name="I"/>
<Item ID="6" Name="J"/>
<Item ID="7" Name="K"/>
<Item ID="8" Name="L"/>
<Item ID="9" Name="M"/>
<Item ID="10" Name="N"/>
</Property>' AS XML)

1)
SELECT *
FROM (VALUES (0, 'Color', 11)) Property(ID, Name, NumOfItems)
JOIN (VALUES (0,0,'D'), (0,1,'E'), (0,2,'F')) Item(PropertyID,ID,Name)
ON Property.ID = Item.PropertyID
FOR XML AUTO
Output:
<Property ID="0" Name="Color" NumOfItems="11">
<Item PropertyID="0" ID="0" Name="D" />
<Item PropertyID="0" ID="1" Name="E" />
<Item PropertyID="0" ID="2" Name="F" />
</Property>
2)
SELECT *,
(SELECT * FROM (VALUES (0,'D'), (1, 'E'), (2, 'F')) MamboJambo("#ID", "#Name") FOR XML PATH('Item'),TYPE)
FROM (VALUES (0,'Color',11)) CocoJambo("#ID", "#Name", "#NumOfItems")
FOR XML PATH('Property')
3)
SELECT CONVERT(XML, N'<Property ID="0" Name="Color" NumOfItems="11">
<Item ID="0" Name="D"/>
<Item ID="1" Name="E"/>
<Item ID="2" Name="F"/>
</Property>').query(N'
for $x in (/Property)
return
<Property ID="{$x/#ID}" Name="{$x/#Name}" NumOfItems="{$x/#NumOfItems}" >
{for $y in ($x/Item) return $y}
</Property>
');
