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. :)

Substitute values?
"What does one call something", I.e. I am looking for an object name, not an action name.

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?

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.

I made something like that for pdf forms the other day. I called it a pdf populator.
____________________________ I didn't know what to put in here.
Ah yes, but to be picky, and I love being picky (that's why I would like being a senior contract lawyer), if some of my template placeholders were holding places for form fields, calling something working with it a populator is like calling a property Property. I have many evil examples like that I have done, because it made sense on the inside, and on the outside the user only knew of one Property, the one for sale.
