With NS_GetStringService, the whole XPCOM system can achieve the same goal of COM/OLE as a binary standard and be language independent (I guess this is not a goal of XPCOM for now, at least it clearly says XPCOM will depend on the compiler). I would think that will be a great feature for XPCOM.
I will have a look at the sdk, if it require too much C/C++ knownledge and too much configuration time, I will give up and just use webclient :-(
Thanks

I am kicking around the idea of enabling the string service. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186564
So far, seemed I must write more C/C++ code and write my own nsAString implementation. The hardest thing then is how to set up the environment. Do I need to download all the mozilla source code and get it compiled? Or there is a set of lib file and .h file that I can download and include in my C++ project? Is there any sample or document how to set up a VC6.0 project for this?
Try the SDK. That may get you pretty far. If you just need a simple string implementation, there is a xpcom glue library that has a simple implementation of nsAString nsACString.
