We are trying to set up a test server using Visual Web Deveopler 2010 Express and it's built in SQL server. We downloaded and unzipped the install files and opened the .sln file, but VS pops up an error that reads "the source control provider associated with this solution could not be found. The projects will be treated as not under source control. Do you want to permanently remove the source control bindings from the projects?" - Yes or No. We tried it both ways and either way when we tried to launch the site in the browser it wouls time out with the foloowing 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Any idea where we're going wrong???
