    ObjectType = Account.EntityLogicalName
};
InstantiateTemplateResponse instTemplateResp = (InstantiateTemplateResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(instTemplateReq);

// Serialize the email message to XML, and save to a file.
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(InstantiateTemplateResponse));
string filename = "email-message.xml";
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename))
{
    serializer.Serialize(writer, instTemplateResp);
}
Console.WriteLine("Created e-mail using the template.");
' Use the InstantiateTemplate message to create an e-mail message using a template.
Dim instTemplateReq As InstantiateTemplateRequest = New InstantiateTemplateRequest With { _
    .TemplateId = _templateId, .ObjectId = _accountId, .ObjectType = Account.EntityLogicalName}
Dim instTemplateResp As InstantiateTemplateResponse = _
    CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(instTemplateReq), InstantiateTemplateResponse)

' Serialize the email message to XML, and save to a file.
