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?).
