Parameters
Caller

TemplateId
Specifies the ID of the template.
TemplateXml
Specifies an XML string describing the e-mail template. The XML schema is described by template.xsd.

Note These templates do not work with the Microsoft CRM application, which uses a proprietary e-mail template format.
If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.
All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}

[C#]
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";
// virtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";
// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
// CRMEmailTemplate proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CRMEmailTemplate emailtemplate = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CRMEmailTemplate();
emailtemplate.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
emailtemplate.Url = strDir + "CRMEmailTemplate.srf";
string strErrorMsg;
string strEmailTemplateId = "{586D80AA-3E9B-4936-ABCA-2C4EB37FBE82}";
try
{
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();
// Set up the updated XML string for the e-mail template
string strXmlTemplate = "<template>";
strXmlTemplate += "<subject>A New Template Subject</subject>";
strXmlTemplate += "<templatetypecode>2</templatetypecode>";
strXmlTemplate += "<ownerid type=\"" + Microsoft.CRM.Flags.ObjectType.otSystemUser.ToString() +"\">";
strXmlTemplate += userAuth.UserId + "</ownerid>";
strXmlTemplate += "</template>";
