When I try to add a SQL database using Using Add New Data Source Wizard I get a Error.You can see dat in this screenshot

Anyone can Tell me whats the prob..

Is SQL Server on the same machine as VS2005 or on another machine-on the Network.

It seems that either the SQL Server is not installed, disconnected, or corrupt.

No..It is installed properly and also running...I can see a icon in the taskbar...

Hi,

You need to First Create a Public User, in "SQL Server Authentication Mode" .
and give permission to the database.
Also Select Default Database for this User.
And You need to login thru this User, then you can access SQL Server Database Tables..
