Calling a web service from Custom Code Block

Is it possible to make a web service call from a report's custom code
section? Or is it neccesary to wrtie a custom assembly to do it?
Thanks.It will be necessary to write a custom assembly to do it - unless you
unsecure the permissions of the Report Expressions - which is not a good
idea.
You'll need to learn about Code Access Security to do this properly and our
book's Chapter 9 will give you a great deal of information to get you up and
running with writing Custom Assemblies and Securing them for use in
Reporting Services.

Doing something similar to Chapter 9 - but getting stuck on what I need to
put into the policy file - I have read Yogesh's link - but still having
problems.
Any help appreciated.
