How can I read an xml file to populate a combobox?

I exported a xml file using .writexml from a dataset and now I would like to
populate a combo box from that. Can someone supply a link or sample vb.net
code that show's how to do this... much appreciated...

here is some of the xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<NewDataSet>
<xs:schema id="NewDataSet" xmlns=""
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
<xs:element name="NewDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true"
msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="Table">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="descr" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="childid" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
<Table>
<id>140</id>
<descr>(Select document type from list)</descr>
</Table>
<Table>
<id>124</id>
<descr>Agreement of Modification of First Mortgage, Assignment of Leases
and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, First Note and Loan
Documents</descr>
<childid>10</childid>
</Table>
<Table>
<id>56</id>
<descr>Appraisals</descr>
<childid>23</childid>
</Table>

Wouldn't it be easier to populate the combobox directly from the typed
dataset by databinding ? Considering that you have to load the XML file
into a dataset again, to populate the combobox.
