What exactly do you want to load into combobox?
What's your xml structure?

LINQ to XML (C#) | Microsoft Docs[^] is probably what you're looking for.

C#

XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load("xmlfullfilename.xml");
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("hname", typeof(string)));
dt = xdoc.Descendants("hname")
    .Select(x=>dt.LoadDataRow(new object[]{x.Value}, false))
    .CopyToDataTable();
this.comboBox1.DataSource = dt;
this.comboBox1.DisplayMember = "hname";

For further details, please see:
LINQ to XML Overview[^]
Samples (LINQ to XML)[^]

Good luck!
