I don't know of any concerns that require you to style your code any different form normal

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://SomeProtectedUrl.com");
request.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");

to keep your username and password in a single spot, so that it would be easy to change you could use

public static string uname = "yourUsername";
public static string passwd= "yourPassword";

request.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(uname, passwd);
