Thinking about it quickly, vb5 lets you call API methods from the templates. So, if you put your code into an api call, you could grab it from the templates.

The call would look like:

{vb:data varName, apiClass, apiMethod, parameter1, parameter2}

where
varName is what you want to call in your template
apiClass is the last part of the API class (if it's vB_Api_MyCustomAPI, apiClass would be MyCustomAPI)
apiMethod is the class method you're calling

There hasn't been much released to developers on vb5.
