    r := Finance.Price(DateTime.ComposeDay(2007,01,01), DateTime.ComposeDay(2007,10,01), 0.05, 0.35, 1510, 1, 0);
    Debug.WriteLine(r);
End Sub UserProc;

Imports Prognoz.Platform.Interop.MathFin;
…
Public Shared Sub Main(Params: StartParams);
Var
    r: double;
    Finance: FinanceClass = New FinanceClass();
    DateTime1, DateTime2: System.DateTime;
Begin
    DateTime1 := New DateTime(2007,01,01);
