Suppress warning for rsOverlappingReportItems

Question

Is there a way to suppress the following warning?

warning rsOverlappingReportItems: The image 'image3' and the image 'image1' overlap. Overlapping report items are not supported in all renderers.

Answer 1

Sadly, I think the answer is indeed "No" - at least for the 2008 products.

Answer 2

So,

This is an old question, but one that I've been meaning to look at for a while. After some digging, it turns out that you need to use 'rsOverlappingReportItems' as the warning number, and then it works.

Update : This is found under the "Build" tab of project properties

Answer 3

In my case this error started showing up completely out of the blue - and only on 1 particular RDLC, even though we had 4 RDLC's with almost identical layouts. Previously all 4 layouts had worked absolutely fine.

I noticed in the error list a different error for the RDLC, and when I solved that, all the "Overlapping report items are not supported in all renderers" errors suddenly disappeared after a solution rebuild.

The additional error was:

An unexpected error occurred while compiling expressions. Native compiler return value: ‘[BC30179] class 'textbox12_TextBoxExprHost' and class 'Textbox12_TextBoxExprHost' conflict in class 'ReportExprHostImpl'.’

The fix for this was to find my controls "Textbox12" and "textbox12" and give them better names that did not conflict with each other. After the Solution Rebuild all the errors on the RDLC disappeared.
