Problem creating WebParts

Asked by Yurich in Microsoft Visual C#.Net, Visual Studio .NET 2005, .NET Framework 2.0

Tags: C#

Hello,

I'm trying to create WebParts in VS2005. I drag and drop webpartmanager on my page and try to run it (doing nothing else) and it fails, giving me an error about failing to connect to the SQL Server 2005. Here is the message (not all):

Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

*** ERROR MESSSAGE ***

SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:


The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:


If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.

*** END OF ERROR MESSAGE ***

I don't have Express SQL installed on machine and I don't want to install it. I have a development version of SQL Server 2005 but I'm not sure what to configure in order to get it working.

Thanks,
