I reinstall VS 2008 and install SQLEXpress 2005; then I tried to add my databse which got this error;however, I went through many articles on the internet but still the same problem. do you have any idea? its the error
"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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)" -

To find out the installed instances, follow the steps in this answer I posted for a similar question http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3614783/Re-How-to-find-SQL-Server-name.aspx[^]
