It is a super simple task, this is one of possible approaches:

XML

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server"
        DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="ID">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:XmlDataSource ID="XmlDataSource1" runat="server" DataFile="~/test.xml"
        XPath="consumers/consumer"></asp:XmlDataSource>

Copy this code in a page and make sure that your file is called test.xml and that it is in the site root directory.

Cheers

Heres another way,

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
string path = Server.MapPath("~/test.xml");//path of xml file that you need to fetch values.
doc.Load(path);
DataSet _ds = new DataSet();
_ds.ReadXml(path);
yourdropdown.DataSource = _ds.Tables[0];
yourdropdown.datatextfield="ID";
yourdropdown.datavaluefield="Name";
yourdropdown.DataBind();
