Neslihan,

It seems like you're in panic right now. Calm down :) Quantlib has different implementations. QuantlibXL is the Excel implementation/interface. The original library is a c++ library. It is accesible through c++ language, no need for Excel. I believe that there is also a java version.

Now going back to your assignment. What exactly would you like to do with QuantLib?

Hello everyone,

I`d like to introduce myself before asking my question.
My name is Neslihan Hacioglu and i am a masters student in financial mathematics in Germany.I have a job as asisstant student in an institute and now a work to complete.

My supervisor asked me to find out how the thigs with quantlib works..and I´ve been trying for couple of days to build ObjectHandler, QuantLib XL and the rest,following the steps in the documentations..then i came up with a lot of errors when i tried to build ObjectHandler in Visual Studio 2005...
.Sorry for this question,but I am really new in programming things and QuantLib,and really cannot understand that..Does QuantLibXL work without ObjectHandler??What is ObjectHandler actually doing??
Somewhere I have read that it is necessary if you need to use an object in one XLS file ,in another one...
and that it is a repository you can store the data,share it,and destroy if you like..
Is that what it does??
Sometimes some errors concerning ObjectHandler are appearing on the XLS files of QuantlibXL,but sometimes they disappear..I don`t really understand that..
I really appreciate any kind of help..

Thank you all in advance!
Have a nice day!
