You can keep the password in the connection string:
Provider=...; User ID=user; Password=pwd; ...
This isn't very secure, but then again nothing you can store in the assembly isn't because anyone can use ildasm.exe or a similar tool to see what you have in the application.

If you're using SQL Server, perhaps a better way is to use integrated authentication, or SSPI, by excluding the User ID and Password params of the connection string and instead using Integrated Security=SSPI. This will use the credentials of the current (or impersonated) user to attach to SQL Server. The server must be configured to support mixed mode authentication, though (both SQL Server and Integrated Windows authentication).

The best practice is to not store secret information in your app because it's never secret. If you aren't using SQL Server and want you connection to be more secure, rely on either the user specifying the connection string in your application (perhaps as an option) or use ODBC.NET and let them configure their own DSN.

So, as long as this connection string is used for the DB connection for the CR report, you shouldn't have to worry about a password prompt.
