Creates an exchange rate object which knows how to convert money objects from one currency to another.

This is a low level function.

If you wish to create FXRate objects for a large range of FXRates with the appropriate chains created, use the CreateFXManager() function instead.

Please refer to the large number of enumeration functions present within the CapeTools Enums category of functions.

The CapeTools Enums category of functions return correct string codes that can be passed to parameters taking fixed string values defined by the library (ie - DayCount codes, frequency codes, currency codes, compounding codes, business day convention codes etc...).

You can thus execute these enumeration functions which return the proper code, instead of trying to remember the string code needed or making spelling mistakes which can be difficult to debug.

This function creates an object and returns a string-key value to represent this created object.
The TAG value of the string-key returned (second part of the key) is : "FX"

String CTCurrency.CreateFX( _
String FXKey, _
Long Reload, _
CCYEnum CcyFrom, _
CCYEnum CcyTo, _
Double FXRate)

=CT.FX.CreateFX(
Excel String Cell FXKey,
Excel Numeric Cell Reload,
Excel String Cell CcyFrom,
Excel String Cell CcyTo,
Excel Numeric Cell FXRate)

static std::string CreateFX(
std::string FXKey,
long Reload,
CCYEnum CcyFrom,
CCYEnum CcyTo,
double FXRate);

System.String CTCurrencySA.CreateFX(
System.String FXKey,
System.Int32 Reload,
CTIEnums.CCYEnum CcyFrom,
CTIEnums.CCYEnum CcyTo,
System.Double FXRate);

The C# example below contains all the sub-function calls leading up to this function call. As a result, the example can contain a lot of code.

The VB.NET, J#, C++.NET, Java, Excel VBA, Visual Basic 6 (via COM) and C++ examples below contain function code stubs for the calls leading up to this function call. However, the function call for this function is displayed.
You can easily reproduce the stub functions code from the C# example.
