add entities to report model programmatically ?

Hi Friends
is it possible to add entities to a report model dynamically ,probably thru SOAP api ?
we've c# app and we want to be able to add entities dynamically .
Thanks for the helpNo, the only API's are for updating the entire model.|||Thanks BOB.
thats what i figured out finally. BUT i found a way of adding attributes to existing entities .am reading .smdl file using a c# program and adding a attribute under a specific entity.
if i re-publish the model everything worked fine as normal.

i need to do this as our clients want to report on "user defined tables" which we're not aware of when creating report model!
i have not tested my approach enough and i appreciate ur advise here. is there any better way of doing this.
Your advise really appreciated.
Thanks again|||That looks like your best option.|||

Thanks for the reply Bob.

Actually i was not sure before, now after ur post i've got some confidence to try this solution in real world. Thanks again :)
