Automatic deployment of report models

Hi all,
I have a group of models, and I'm looking for a way to automatically
get them to deploy to the test report server every day. The only way I
know to deploy is to build the models in Visual Studio and then deploy
them from Visual Studio. Are there other ways (command line solutions
perhaps) that will do this?
Thanks for any answers.
MattYou should be able to do this via the RS Web Service Interface.
Someone should write a utility that monitors a folder or folders and auto
deploy reports from there, that would be really useful

to my utility: The Report Server URL and the ROOT folder to create to dump
the reports into.
Saves me tons of time, especially with client deployments. :)

Thanks very much for the replies. I started looking at the
ReportingServices2005 web services, and found a method called
"CreateModel" that looks like it might help, but I can't figure out how
to structure a call to this method, and how to authenticate etc...
There is a lack of examples on the web with this information. Its
slightly more complicated for me too because we also develop a custom
authentication extension that we'll have to cater for in the web
services calls.
Chris, any chance you could share your application or at least some
code that describes how its done.
Thanks!

I'm looking for a relatively simple example implementation of some code
using the web services to publish a report model.
