Programmatically alter grouping

Hi Everyone:
We are evaluating the SQL Server Reporting Services for use in our
current web project. The users will have the ability to select report
fields that they can group on and filter on, via a web page.
The materials I have read so far have not touched on how one can
programmatically alter groups on a report and also how should the
report that offers several grouping options to the user be designed(as
in whether the report should have all possible groupings defined at
design time and "disabled" by default)?
In Crystal Report we remember creating the various goups and
"deactivating" them at design time and programmatically altering the
group hierarchy at run time.
If anyone has any information on this issue, it would be very much
appreciated. Thanks a lot.
