We call “new” to get memory for each cell when we have something to put into it. We later call “delete” in the formatRow method to clear out the cell and free the memory after we have formatted it to the output buffer. The GetnodeValue method that we use on the Column Node's Text Node returns a COM VARIANT, so we use the _bstr_t COM helper class to treat it as character data. Here's the most interesting part:
