Dear All;

The problem is as follows:-

I have VS 2010 & SQL Express 2008 which installed alongwith VS 2010.

The problem is I installed a named instance called SQLEXP & deleted default SQLEXPRESS instance .I changed it in Options -> in VS2010 to use new instance works fine I can connect to database

But still the problems appear in a ASP.net site [created before instance change] when run user cant login as server cant be connected

Error-26 Cannot connect to instance specified;

Why cant the database be connected when I changed it[instance name] in VS settings menu.

Also I could earlier use Website Admin Tool to create users which store in ASPNET.MDF but now it also cant connect in Web admin tool.Any solutions pls?

Update your DataSource in connection string. Go to web.config --> Find your connection string --> Update data source from .\SQLEXPRESS to YourMachineName\SQLEXPRESS.
Try this:

HTML

connectionString="data source=YourMachineName\SQLEXPRESS;
   Integrated Security=SSPI;
   Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;"
