Make sure your proxy class inherits from Microsoft.Web.Services3.WebServicesClientProtocol.

You can do this either by changing the proxy class itself, or by generating it via the command line using wsewsdl3.exe with the /type:webClient switch.

You can then pass the credentials like this:

using Microsoft.Web.Services3;
using Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security.Tokens;
using Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security;
.
.
.
WS.FooResultHttpService ws = new WS.FooResultHttpService();
ws.RequestSoapContext.Security.Tokens.Add(new UsernameToken("blah", "blah", PasswordOption.SendPlainText));

This is what I've done in the past to get WSE3.0 going in Studio 2008. Hope that helps.
