Is the SQL Server Browser service running on your PC?

yes it started
But i solve my problem by other way I got instance name by using registry editors
RegistryKery rk=Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Softwaer\Microsoft\Microsoft Sql Server\");
string[] instances=rk.getvalue("installedInstance");\
string constring=System.Envirnment.machineneam.tosting()+"\\"+instances[0];
