Hi,

Try this below sample:

C#

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            listBox1.Items.Clear();
            XmlTextReader r = new XmlTextReader(@"XML File Path");
            r.Read();

            while (r.Read())
            {
                if (r.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
                {
                    if (r.Name == "unit")
                    {
                        r.Read();
                        listbox1.Items.Add(Convert.ToString(r.Value));
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Regards,
Vasuki.
