Remarks

The string for the Height element must be a valid Size. For more information, see Report Definition Language Data Types.

The maximum size for Height is 160 inches. The minimum size is 0 inches.

Only lines can have a negative size. Height combined with width determines the endpoint of the line.

If the Height element is omitted, the default is the value of Height for the containing item minus the value of the sibling Top element, except for tablix report items. For a tablix, the default is derived from the sizes of the columns, rows, and cells.

Setting a report item height element equal to 0 does not hide the report item when rendered. To hide a report item, set the visibility property Hidden Element (RDL) to true.
