Hi,

I buid to my computer SQLSERVER 2012 Exspress. I can connect to my database with Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio with windows Authentication and Sql Server Authentication.
But when ı try to connect with my ASP.net application ı get this error message:
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
I read the lots of solution but ı can not access.

Thanks for your answers

What is your connection string?
do you allow remote connections?

i think that when you're running an asp.net app (IIS) the NT auth account connecting to sql server is that from which the web server runs under. local system/nt auth/aspnet. also check the application pools (identities) under which the code runs in the webserver.
hope this helps

Thank for replies.I try two different connection string:
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=SABRI-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True");
SqlConnection connection1 = new SqlConnection(@"Server=localhost;Database=SABRI-PC\SQLEXPRESS;User ID=sa;Password=Sd0226535;Trusted_Connection=False;");
I allow the remote connections.
I completly turn off my firewall.

If you are running on Win7, try to restart the SQL server.
Open the task manager (ctrl+shift+esc).
Select the Services Tab.
Click on the bottom button 'services'. This will give you all rhe running services on the machine.
Locate MSSQLSERVER.
Click on Start or Restart.

I think this should solve the problem

Thanks, solved problem
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, go to "SQL Native Client (version) Configuration" - Client protocols and activate shared memory, TCP/IP, named pipes.
If applicable, do that for both "32 bit" and "64 bit" sections.
Restart your SQL Server, and try again.
Also make sure that the account of the IIS has access rights to your database (you may temporarily for testing purposes run IIS with your user account - do not do that in production!).
