MS Reporting Services and Passing Credentials from .NET App

Expert Needed,
Is it possible to pass credentials from a .NET application into MS reporting
services?
For example we want to filter our data for our reports based on the user's
login into the .NET app.
Thank you in advance.
RichI am trying to do the very same thing from a .Net windows application and if
get it will post my results.

pass the user credentials. Alternatively, once the application
authenticates, it can use a single "trusted" Wi ndows account to connect and
authenticates against RS.

application a reference to Web Services that is installed on Server that had
Reporting Services. Then, you can use all the method that this web services
expose, as
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService();
System.Net.NetworkCredential cr = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(UserName,
Password, Domain);
rs.Credentials = cr;
I hope that this help you.
