Why don't you put some effort, read about System.Xml namespace, and try the suggestions out.
You have been asking similar questions again. :doh:

Solution 1

you can use XMLDocument or XMLReader class, let see the example of XMLDocuemnt

C#

Arraylist ArrList = new Arraylist(); 
System.XML.XMLDocument objDom = new System.XML.XMLDocument();
objDom.load(//xml file path);
xmlNodeList XNList = objDom.getElementByTagName("items");
for each (xmlNode XN in XNList)
{
   for(int i=0; i< XN.childNodes.count; i++)
   {
      ArrayList.Add(XN.childNodes[i].Name);
   }
}

string strCategoryId;
XmlDocument oXMLDoc = null;
XmlNodeList oXMLNodeList;

try
{
//..this is your connection method, Admin is class Name in which method is define

oXMLDoc = oAdmin.GetPartyDetails();
oXMLNodeList = oXMLDoc.GetElementsByTagName("ABC");
if ((oXMLDoc.ChildNodes.Count >= 1) && (oXMLNodeList.Count > 0))
{

cboParty.Items.Add(new ListItem("-- Select Category --", "0"));
for (int intLoop = 0; intLoop <= oXMLNodeList.Count - 1; intLoop++)
{
strCategoryId = oXMLDoc.GetElementsByTagName("ABC").Item(intLoop).InnerText;
cboParty.Items.Add(new ListItem(strCategoryId));
}
}
else
{

ABC.Items.Add(new ListItem("No Category, Please add."));
}
