Accepted answer
string[] lineOfContents = File.ReadAllLines("Myfile.txt");
foreach (var line in lineOfContents)
{
string[] tokens = line.Split(',');
comboBox1.Items.Add(tokens[0]);
}

try this

            string[] s = File.ReadAllLines("your text file path");
            foreach (string line in s)
            {
                string[] str= line.Split(',');
                comboBox1.Items.Add(str[0]);
            }
Note: use namespace using System.IO; .

Try this

private void FillComboBox()
        {
            string[] line1=null;
            try
            {
                StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(@"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\cmb.txt");
                string line = sr.ReadLine();
                while (line != null)
                {
                    if (line.Contains(","))
                    {
                        line1 = line.Split(',');
                        comboBox1.Items.Add(line1[0]);
                        line = sr.ReadLine();
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Error : " + ex.Message);
            }
        }
