Here is the Solution i Got

Web Service code

static SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Connection"].ToString());
[WebMethod]
public DataSet Cmb_BranchMaster()
{
    conn.Open();
    SqlCommand ad1 = new SqlCommand("select * from BranchMaster", conn);
    SqlDataAdapter adapt = new SqlDataAdapter(ad1);
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    adapt.Fill(ds);
    conn.Close();
    return ds;
}

Winform Code

private void ComboBox_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    myservice.Service test = new myservice.Service();
    DataSet dd = new DataSet();
    dd = test.Cmb_BranchMaster();
    comboBox1.DataSource = dd.Tables[0];
    comboBox1.DisplayMember = "BranchName";
    comboBox1.ValueMember = "BranchID";
}
