New hidden parameters question

I can see (and have read a little about it here) in Report Manager where you can hide parameters. Why isn't this exposed in the
API? Why can't I set them to be hidden in VS?
Did my service pack maybe not install okay.
ThanksIf you clear the prompt string in the Report Designer parameters dialog, the
parameter automatically becomes hidden. See the SP1 readme for more details.

When I make this parameter non-prompting. I get an error that the parameter
is read only and cannot be set. If I make it promptable, it shows as a
parameter and user can then may enter another Id to see other records. How
can I resolve this. My URL looks like this.

number of reports and an even fairer number of parameters to reset every time
after installing at a client.
