I should receive a VT_BSTR from a soap client but what I get is a VT_DISPATCH variable.There is some information available on the internet but I still havnt been able to convert it into something meaningful.

hresult = m_ptrSoapClient->Invoke(dispid, IID_NULL,LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,DISPATCH_METHOD,&dispparams, &returnval, &excepinfo, &uArgErr);//returnval is of type VT_BSTR
CString temp= returnval.bstrVal;//temp gets arbitrary characters
