// Use the InstantiateTemplate message to create an e-mail message using a template.
InstantiateTemplateRequest instTemplateReq = new InstantiateTemplateRequest
{
    TemplateId = _templateId,
    ObjectId = _accountId,
    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.
Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer(GetType(InstantiateTemplateResponse))
Dim filename As String = "email-message.xml"
Using writer As New StreamWriter(filename)
    serializer.Serialize(writer, instTemplateResp)
End Using
Console.WriteLine("Created e-mail using the template.")
