NSPasteboard and data types

Hi everyone,

I'm playing around with NSPasteboard in 10.5 and want to basically create a copy of the generalPasteboard. I've got two classes: DDPasteboard and DDPasteboardItem. DDPasteboard has a to-many relationship with DDPasteboardItem.

What I'm wondering is this: do I need to have separate string and data properties in DDPasteboardItem? I see that I can grab stringForType: and dataForType: from the pasteboard, but what's the difference between them (other than one returning an NSString and the other an NSData)? In the documentation I see that stringForType: just invokes dataForType:, but is there ever an instance where stringForType: would return something different than can be inferred from dataForType:?

Thanks,

Dave DeLong
