Hi there,
I am currently developing an ASP.NET program that connects to a SQL Server
2000 database. I also have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on the same
local machine.
Prior to installing SQL Server 2005, my apps were working and is connecting
flawlessly to a database on the SQL Server 2000. Now, whenever I connect to
the same database with the 2005 version installed, I keep on getting this
error:
---------------------------------------
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing
a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure
may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could
not open a connection to SQL Server) at

-------------------------------
I have tried enabling my named pipes as well as my tcp/ip for both SQL
Servers, and I still keep on getting the same error.
I have tried checking my connection string and it seems it is correct.
<add key="DBConnection" value="Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security
Info=False;Initial Catalog=Conservation;Data Source=(local)"/>
My Sql Server 2005's named instance is: (local)\SQLExpress
Please help! I really don't know what to do....
Thank you so much!
