Why do you need a wrapper class? Just use the ATL smart pointer classes and
the #import directive. Here's a quick sample that I had whipped up for
someone some time ago...

#include "stdafx.h"

#import <msxml4.dll>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

#ifdef UNICODE
#define _tout wcout
#else
#define _tout cout
#endif

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
 HRESULT hr = ::CoInitialize ( NULL );

 if (SUCCEEDED ( hr ) )
 {
  MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocument2Ptr pDomDocument;
  hr = pDomDocument.CreateInstance (__uuidof (MSXML2::DOMDocument40));

  if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
  {
   pDomDocument->async = VARIANT_FALSE ;
   pDomDocument->validateOnParse = VARIANT_TRUE;
   pDomDocument->resolveExternals = VARIANT_TRUE;

   if ( VARIANT_TRUE == pDomDocument->load (
_T("http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot") ) )
   {
    std::_tout << _T("Success") << std::endl;

    // To prove to yourself that the file actually was downloaded, save it
locally.
    pDomDocument->save ( _T("Downloaded.xml") );
   }
   else
   {
    MSXML2::IXMLDOMParseErrorPtr pError = NULL;

    if ((pError = pDomDocument->parseError) != NULL)
    {
     hr = pError->errorCode;

     std::_tout << _T("Error Code: ") << pError->errorCode << std::endl;
     std::_tout << _T("Reason: ") << pError->Getreason () << std::endl;
    }
   }
  }

  pDomDocument.Release ();
  ::CoUninitialize ();
 }

 return SUCCEEDED (hr) ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE;
}
