Hi all,
I have created a winform application with visual studio 2010 and a setup project for it.my application works with sql express so i have added sql express 2008 to prerequisits of the setup.
In addition i have used the following connection string to connect to my database :

Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|\MyDBName.mdf; Integrated security=True;

my application and its setup project build successfully but when i have install and run it (even by Run as Administrator) i have receive an error like this :

cannot open a user default database.login failed.
login failed for this user.

what is my mistake??

Pass your credential in connection string.
and use Persist Security Info instaed of Integrated Security

C#

Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|\MyDBName.mdf;
Persist Security Info=True;User ID=youruserid;Password=password"

check more connectionstrings
