background compile rdlc reports

When I'm building a report, I can add expressions to my report which has various functions in them. If I copy and paste a common expression in the report, I don't always give the code window the chance to show me an error before I've clicked OK and closed.

Could the IDE background compile my report so I can see any problems in the error list before I start running my code? It can be frustrating to find the error in one of the textboxes/tablixes I have put into my report when there are quite a few.

        I just got reply from Connect.Microsoft.Com regarding "Merge SSMS 2012 with more SSDT features" "Thanks for the feedback, we understand your request. Unfortunately at this time we are not making investments in this experience area." Does this mean mean that aren't improving MS SQLMS anymore? if they don't want to do the work, should they give up control of SQL MS to the Visual Studio team? They are probably better making IDE's that the DB team anyways. It's been decades and they haven't made an radical improvements with the IDE regarding productivity.
