Thank you for your comment and answer it work now, this is my function 

public static EntityMetadata[] GetEntities ( IOrganizationService organizationService)
{
    Dictionary<string, string> attributesData = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest metaDataRequest = new RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest();
    RetrieveAllEntitiesResponse metaDataResponse = new RetrieveAllEntitiesResponse();
    metaDataRequest.EntityFilters = EntityFilters.Entity;

    // Execute the request.

    metaDataResponse = (RetrieveAllEntitiesResponse)organizationService.Execute(metaDataRequest);

    var entities = metaDataResponse.EntityMetadata;

    return entities;
}

and i call my function in the windows app form like this: 

var allEntities = CRMHelpers.GetEntities(service);
foreach (EntityMetadata Entity in allEntities)
{
    cbxEntity.Items.Add(Entity.LogicalName);
}
