I found a problem that is proving quite hard to solve. Instead of connecting to an slq 2005 express server, I want to connect to my MSSQLSERVER when i'm configuring the ASP.NET Quickstart Tutorials
I have enabled remote connections in the SQLSERVER service and opened all combinations of pipe, tcp/ip and shared memory, even though I am connection to a local database.
I installed the asp.net quickstart tutorials changing the default instance of sql server .\sqlexpress to .\mssqlserver
when i tried to see the the data in the GridView (http://localhost/QuickStartv20/aspnet/samples/data/GridViewSimple_vb.aspx), i got this error:
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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)
I have changed the data source from .\SQLExpress to .\MSSQLSERVER. I am using windows authentication to connect to the database.
please help me !

Try to use UDL to build your connection string. Here is the link.http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140076.aspx
