Quickstart: 'globalization' using NET2.0

RKT
I've browsed the docs and posts on this topic. There seems to be a lot of
opinions.

Can someone point me in the most current best-practices direction,
considering the requirements below?

- Want to support multiple languages on website, maybe using a combobox at
top of page to select the language (or browser lang setting) if that is
*still* appropriate using .NET globalization facilities.
- Want to bind various controls, like RadioButtonList , but obviously want
the appropriate language for the item text.

- Have an SQL Server database: Should I use SQLDataSources or XMLDataSources
for binding GUI controls to get the appropriate language? (Which method is
the best practice wrt .NET globalization facilities?)
- Bonus question: If I do use XMLDataSources, how can I reference an enum
defined in an application C# class in the XML data source file. I need the
string rep of enum to be set into the 'Value' attribute for controls like a
RadioButtonList ? (associate an XSLT transform with the datasource? Any
sample?).

Hello everybody, Jay and Herfried are telling me every time when I use CDate that using the datetime.parseexact is always the best way to do String to datetime conversions.

I need to run a .NET1.1 program in a .NET2.0 CLR. The .NET1.1 exe starts correctly in .NET2.0. Now I want to debug in Visual Studio 2005.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
