<th>Home Phone</th> <th>Birth Date</th> <th>Notes</th> </tr> <xsl:for-each select="employees/employee"> <tr> <td> <xsl:value-of select="@employeeid"/> </td> <td> <xsl:value-of select="firstname"/> </td> <td> <xsl:value-of select="lastname"/> </td> <td> <xsl:value-of select="homephone"/> </td> <td> <xsl:value-of select="myscripts:GetBirthDate(@employeeid)"/> </td> <td> <xsl:value-of select="notes"/> </td> </tr> </xsl:for-each> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Notice the markup in bold. The <xsl:stylesheet> element now has two more attributes. The xmlns:msxsl attribute defines the msxml prefix for the urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt namespace. Similarly, the xmlns:myscripts attribute defines a myscripts prefix. The <msxml:script> block defines one or more functions that are used in the style sheet. The language attribute of the script block indicates the coding language (C# in our example). Your code may need to add a reference to external assemblies, which is done by using the <msxsl:assembly> element. The name attribute of this tag specifies the name of the assembly, excluding the extension. Similarly, the <msxml:using> tag specifies the namespaces to be imported. The actual function is placed in a CDATA section. In our example, we defined a function called GetBirthDate() that accepts the ID of the employee whose date of birth is to be retrieved and returns the birth date in MM/dd/yyyy format. The code of the function connects with the Northwind database, fires a SELECT query against the employees table, and retrieves the birth date.

After you are happy with your main header image, copy it to the same name as the theme header image, overwriting the original. The theme now automatically uses your new version of the header image. You can continue to modify the other background images that accompany the theme, again copying over the originals. I re-created them using colors from the new masthead image to blend with it. Finally, I tweaked the CSS style sheet to use the same colors from the header

In addition to working with the defaults command to edit standard string and Boolean values in a key, you can also bring information in from other sources using a script. For example, here s a script that pulls a URL from a random list of servers:

This event-handling process applies to all events in .NET. Consequently, ADO.NET objects, such as connections, data adapters, and datasets, all raise events that can be handled using the same process. We ll discuss the events raised by ADO.NET objects in detail throughout this chapter, but for now, let s get a feel for how all the different pieces of this process work. Connections support two events, InfoMessage and StateChange. To handle these events, include the WithEvents keyword when you declare the connection, for example:
