Problem with report DataSource

Hello,
I am deploying reports via the web service. I create a folder, then create
a data source. Once I create a report, I make a reference to the data source
created and change the reports invalid data source to the reference.
When I did this with a data source with credentials stored on the report
server, it worked with no problems. When I changed this to prompt for
crendentials, accessing the report via web services cannot find the data
source associated with the report (the one defined in the rdl does not exist
in the folder fyi). Is this because a reference has no name in the database?
It does work via the Report Manager.
Here are some code snippets:
this.ReportService.CreateReport(reportType.ToString(), "/" + dbName, true,
definition, null);
//change its datasource to the new one
DataSourceReference reference = new DataSourceReference();
reference.Reference = "/" + dbName + "/" + dbName;
DataSource[] dataSources = this.ReportService.GetReportDataSources("/" +
dbName + "/" + reportType.ToString() );
for(int i=0;i<dataSources.Length;i++)
{
if(dataSources[i].Item is InvalidDataSourceReference)
{
dataSources[i].Item = reference;
}
}
this.ReportService.SetReportDataSources("/" + dbName + "/" +
reportType.ToString() ,dataSources);
and for credentials:
DataSourceCredentials d = new DataSourceCredentials();
d.DataSourceName = dbName;
d.UserName = userName;
d.Password = password;
this.mDataSourceCredentials = new DataSourceCredentials[]{d};
any help would be greatly appreciated.It seems recently that my posts never get replied to - Im sure others must
share the same frustration. The solution I came up with was to read the .rdl
file in as xml, search for all data source nodes and replace the old name
(attribute) with the new name. I also created the data source as a data
source, not as a reference.
