sql server programming: Can you send more info, such as server name, sql instance name, and the
connect strings (without the password, of course :-)

SQL Server 2005 - can't connect with ADO.NET Jen

I'm testing my application with SQL Server 2005. For some reason none of my
code can connect. I get a "SQL server does not exist or access denied"
exception. I'm using the "sa" user. Never had this problem with SQL Server
2000.

I can connect to my database just fine with Management Studio, including
with the "sa" user.

I'm not sure what to even look for. Why won't this work?

I got it. The provider name changed with 2005.
