projectsDocument.Sequence = TestProjectSequence
Dim savedProjectDocument = CreateProjectFromTemplate(projectsDocument, Gateway.DocumentService.ProjectCreationType.AllTemplateData, templateName, Nothing)
projectsDocument = DirectCast(PrologSerializer.ToTypedDocument(savedProjectDocument, GetType(DocumentData)), DocumentData)
