IboxIndex in SwapRateHelper

[Mattia Maetini]

Hi everybody,
now I can use (i think correctly) in C#.net also the structure for evaluate the yield curve.

I can't understand what is the parameter IborIndex in the SwapRateHelper; i have search it in the example of swapevaluation.cpp but I can't understand what it means.

Can you help me? Can be the maturity of instrument that i would evaluate?
For example, if I would evaluate the Euribor 6 month, IborIndex is 6 month???

PS: if you have any question about use of QuantLib with C#.net (using visual studio 2008) I'm very happy to help you..if I can :-)

Mattia

IborIndex is the base class for Euribor and Libor indexes of different tenors.
In the case of SwapRateHelper it is used for the swap floating leg

It's an instance of the floating index to use. For 6-months Euribor, it
would be an instance of the Euribor class. I'm not familiar with C#, but
from the examples, I guess it would be something like

IborIndex euribor6m = new Euribor(6, TimeUnit.Months);
