You have to create a list of strings called Name in your viewModel that implements INotifyPropertyChanged

You can simply use DisplayMemberPath property to set the name of the column of your DataTable which will be displayed.

Code behind:

ComboBox.ItemsSource = dt.AsDataView();

XAML:

<ComboBox x:Name="ComboBox" DisplayMemberPath="Name" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="256,41,0,-6"
    VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="108" Height="26" FontSize="13">
</ComboBox>

XAML:

<ComboBox x:Name="ComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding myListofItems}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="256,41,0,-6" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="108" Height="26" FontSize="13" />

C#:

public partial class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private List<string> _myListOfItems = new List<string> ();
    public List<string> myListOfItems
    {
        get { return (_myListOfItems); }
        set
        {
            _myListOfItems = value;
            OnPropertyChanged ("myListOfItems");
        }
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    protected void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        var handler = PropertyChanged;
        if (handler != null) {
            handler (this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs (propertyName));
        }
    }

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent ();
        this.DataContext = this;

        // Start Populating your List here
        // Example:
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            myListOfItems.Add (i.ToString ());
        }
    }
}
