It's time for the Naming Game again.

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?

Pete o'Hanlon: If it wasn't insulting tools, I'd say you were dumber than a bag of spanners.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.

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. :)
Surely this thread belongs in the buzzword hall of shame forum.

I made something like that for pdf forms the other day. I called it a pdf populator.

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.
