Often there is a question on "how to bind ComboBox to a Dataset?". A short and simple answer, You cannot. The more specific answer is, you bind to a DataTable and not a DataSet.
There are two ways to accomplish this,
1. Setting the Path of the ItemsSource in XAML and then setting the DataSet as the DataContext.
XAML,
< ComboBox
x:Name="myComboBox"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=yourTableName}">
</ComboBox>
Code behind,
DataSet ds; //ASSUMPTION: This DataSet contains a Table named yourTableName
myComboBox.DataContext = ds;
2. Setting the ItemsSource of the ComboBox to the DataTable from the DataSet.
XAML,
< ComboBox
x:Name="myComboBox">
</ComboBox>
Code behind,
DataSet ds; //ASSUMPTION: This DataSet contains a Table named yourTableName
myComboBox.ItemsSource = ds["yourTableName"];
"ds" is my DataSet object. It has a table named "yourTableName". I am binding this particular table to the ComboBox.
Have fun.
