I've managed to put together an EEAddIn. It works for me. I attach the source.

You'll have to fix the references to QuantLib and Boost. After compilation, copy the .dll to your %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ directory and add this line to autoexp.dat:

QuantLib::Date=$ADDIN(QuantLibEE.dll,AddIn_quantlibdate)

Maybe this project can be extended for other types too.

Thanks Michael and Peter.

This is definitely a wonderful little hidden gem. Wish I knew about this before. I adds a lot of value for the boost classes, but I can't get it to work for Date. It seems you can use only data members, and not functions, e.g. .dayOfMonth(). Do you know of a workaround? In the meantime I'm looking into using EEAdIn ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8fwk67y3%28v=VS.90%29.aspx )

Kim wrote something in the same line for QuantLib::Array some time ago
(which may also serve as an example)

Maybe it would be nice to collect such pretty printers for QuantLib
types in the repository (for msvc, gdb, ...) ?
