    What does one call something that replaces placeholders in a template with real values? TemplateFillerOuter just isn't how I roll.

                Harold, my man, have some points. I had just come up with TemplateResolver, but Instantiator has a much better ring to it. I think I'll use that for now, unless of course someone exceeds that hard to exceed term. :)

                    It's not really instantiating anything, so I think think TemplateInstatiator might not be so goo. It sounds more like a factory (other than the fact it doesn't have "Factory" in it). Failing TemplateResolver (which I think is pretty good) how about TemplatePlaceHolderReplacer?

                      How about TemplatedMessageInstantiator? :laugh: I'm inspired by your TemplatePlaceHolderReplacer toward TemplatePlaceHolderResolver, as it doesn't merely replace them. Placeholders are of the form object$property, where object is one of a collection of objects passed in an anonymous type to the TemplatePlaceHolderResolver, e.g.

                      ResolveTemplatePlaceHolders(template, new {Customer = person1, Salesman = person2});

                      And placeholders are then, e.g. {Customer$Surname}, {Salesman$PhoneNumber} It's becoming quite a templating engine.
