[Solved] Unable to get demo working on local host

[Sunil]

I cannot get all the features working. There seems to be a setting I am missing when it comes to anything database related. I get teh following error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
I dont have sqlexpress and I have sqlserver. How can I modify the seeting , somehow set the mdf file as datasource or create database in sqlserver. Please send me the modification code to use sql server, create northwind of test database.
If not please let me know if I need sqlexpress and when I reinstall, will it load the databases.
Let me know one way or the other.

Hi Sunil,

The examples require SQL Express, but you can also use them with SQL Server. You need to attach the database to the SQL Server instance and update the connection strings in the web.config file ([Installation Folder]\Live Demos\web.config).

We recommend you to use of SQL Express, so you can run the examples without modifications.
