hey,
my question is, i have the visual studio and the SQL server confuration installed in my computer, i wrote a windows desktop application in C# and I am using a mdf file(microsoft SQL database file). i copied the database file which is the database file to the folder it self. and when i try to run the exe which is in the Debug folder it gives an error saying “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)”
what i can't figure out is i haven't a SQL server installed in my computer and what SQL server is the one referring in the error message. is it the features that were installed with the visual stdio software that this is referring to??
what is the solution,
i read some areticles in the internet and they were referin to changing the remote connection in the computer that i have the visual studio is installed in, isn't there another way of solution fro this situation
thanxxxxxx
