visual studio 2005 issue

[Shaimmaa]

Hi I’ve just converted a project from vs2003 to vs2005 and it builds successfully but when I run it, it throws the exception: "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)" Any idea how to solve this problem Thanks

Debug your code and step through into your data layer to see what's actually failing, check the connection string it's finding, etc.
