I mainly use STL string unless I have to use CString for when working with MFC. Never did any COM programing so never used _bstr_t or BSTR.

STL's basic_string template class is much more flexible in this respect and allows you to create any kind of the strings suitable for specific scenarios.
You can use CString if the size of the project is going to be small. In case the project is a large one than I would rather prefer a wrapper class to encapsulate all the functionality and use it.
BSTR's are used in COM.It's better to convert the CString to a _bstr_t and then pass it to the COM interface if you are working with COM since they have to maintain compatibility with VB datatypes and components can be invoked from there.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Thank you! Your suggestion is very constructive. 
I do like STL's basic_string, but I have to use its c_str() memfunc when I pass a string object to MFC classes.

You're wrong.
(Well, I often have to use one or more of the classes you were talking about, but usually I prefer going to the metal)

No. That is so old and ugly stuff. Most of it is even for VC6!
And look at the second picture (the one named "Screenshots of native C++ equivalent") and how his class MLFString has a equals()-member!  
Somone who programs JAVA in C++ is not someone to whose programming tip I tend to listen!

Three negative votes against just sharing an article without revealing any acceptance.
Isn't it somewhat harsh? What a great liking to vote negative?
Is this STL fanaticism? If so, good luck to you with your lovely STL.
In STL we trust.

I don't really like any of them, but use whatever fits best into the current project. For instance, now I work on something with lots of COM, so I use CComBSTR. On the previous job, we were making an OS-portable system, so the obvious choice was std::string.

all depends.
i used to strongly abandon C-style strings (char* and all its variants) as long as i can. of course, when I have to use the C runtime (or any C APIs), then it's the only really valid reason to...
as long as I code in C++, I use C++ strings.
I used to use the MVC pattern also. so, for my UI layer, I mainly use CString as I use MFC.
but as for my other layers (which are generally put into DLLs), i use std::string

Have you tried with IE, HtmlView is based WebBrowserCtrl which is used in IE.
This site is blocked in my office PC and says it comes in Games Category may be the similar reason.

What is the reason? This is being able to open in IE7. Then why is it not being open in my application?
Thanks & Regards,
HEmang

Using VS6, I just created a test application, with the view derived from CHtmlView, and it worked fine.
