Yes. And I have point this already!

You need get VDK_Field*

    VDK_Field* pField = cursor->GetField( "name" )

Now you can call VDK_Field::GetString()
This function return string for ALL types that can be represented in string.

    FBL_String* pStr = pfield->GetString()

VDK_Cursor or your own cursor ?

I think if your cursor then you should be able do this.
