In the Page_Load of the code behind

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var reportFolderPath = Server.MapPath("~/Reports"); //change the "~/Reports" to your report folder name

        IEnumerable<string> xmlFiles = Directory.GetFiles(reportFolderPath, "*.xml");

        //As a common practice server file path should not be shown to the client, use file name instead
        xmlFiles = xmlFiles.Select(o => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(o)).Where(o => o.Contains("Arun"));;

        ddlReportTemplate.DataSource = xmlFiles;
        ddlReportTemplate.DataBind();
    }
