Alternative method of querying the calendar using the CTE method

I have also developed a solution of mine, but using simple t-sql CTE instead of t-sql PIVOT statements. Both methods are actually ending with the same result set.
Here is the sample t-sql code for the t-sql calendar listing.

WITH CTE AS
(
  SELECT
    wd = DATEPART(WEEK, [date]),
    [date],
    Sunday = CASE WHEN [days] = 'Sunday' THEN [date] ELSE NULL END,
    Monday = CASE WHEN [days] = 'Monday' THEN [date] ELSE NULL END,
    Tuesday = CASE WHEN [days] = 'Tuesday' THEN [date] ELSE NULL END,
    Wednesday = CASE WHEN [days] = 'Wednesday' THEN [date] ELSE NULL END,
    Thursday = CASE WHEN [days] = 'Thursday' THEN [date] ELSE NULL END,
    Friday = CASE WHEN [days] = 'Friday' THEN [date] ELSE NULL END,
    Saturday = CASE WHEN [days] = 'Saturday' THEN [date] ELSE NULL END
  FROM dbo.getFullmonth ('20080229')
)
SELECT
  MAX(Sunday) Sunday,
  MAX(Monday) Monday,
  MAX(Tuesday) Tuesday,
  MAX(Wednesday) Wednesday,
  MAX(Thursday) Thursday,
  MAX(Friday) Friday,
  MAX(Saturday) Saturday
FROM CTE
GROUP BY wd

Here is the CTE output for generating sql calendar dates on a MS SQL Server 2005 or later (SQL Server 2008).

Using SSRS web services to render a report as a PDF

I have been looking around the net for some decent code which would explain how I could render a report, using SSRS 2008 web services as a PDF. The need was to extract reports sitting on a SSRS 2008 server sitting on a NT domain on a trusted network, whereas my web server was sitting in a DMZ. Where the only communication allowed by the network admin was port 80. To do this you will need to use the SSRS2008 ReportExecution2005.asmx web service. This could be accesses using the following URL assuming your SSRS server was installed using the default settings. http://YourServerIP/reportserver/reportexecution2005.asmx?wsdl 1. Create a user on your AD domain with the least amount of privileges (say ReportUser) 2. Give this account browse access on the reporting server for the desired reports. 3. To get this working in visual studio 2010 (I am using the Premium edition) Right click on your project and add a service reference to the above web serv
