Need code examples of how to call SSRS reports from winforms app

I'm writing a vb.net winforms app and need to call up reports from SSRS. I
also need to pass in secure parameters into the report and I don't want to
pass the credentials if I don't have to. I was hoping I could call my own
web service where I can pass encrypted data to my web service which would
contain the parameters. then a business object on the server could generate
the credential needed by SSRS and pass both the credentials and decrypted
parameters into the report. Problem is I don't know how to get the report
back to the client. One idea was to render the report on the server side
and then convert its html into a byte stream and pass the byte stream as a
return value for my web service. Then my winform client could convert the
byte stream into an html document. However, I have no idea if this is
possible and need examples for the various parts.
can someone please give me advise (and preferable links to code examples) on
how to solve this problem?
Thanks.
