sql server 2008 express. cannot create mdf databse.
- by yair
Hi,
I'm working with visual studio 2008 express and sql 2008 express.
I'm trying to create mdf database (Add new Item ...)and I recieve the following error message:
"a network-related or instance-specific error occured while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verfy that instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named pipes Provider:40 - could not open connection to SQL)"
Why ? Is it possible to create mdf database with SQL 2008 Express ? If it is then what to do ?
