I am using RDLC reports 2008 in an ASP.NET MVC application to generate reports. Sometimes, the report generates successfully, but at other times, I get the following error:

An unexpected error occurred while compiling expressions. Native compiler return value: ‘-1073741502’.

1. Checked the Report definition: the .RDLC file seems valid and sometimes works without any issues.
2. Restarted the application - after restarting, the issue sometimes disappears, but reappears unpredictably.
