title: Cannot connect to named instance of SQL Server 2008R2
body: <p>I am attempting to create a new Database Project in VS2010 via the New Project Wizard, and via this article: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa833432(v=vs.100).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa833432(v=vs.100).aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>I am on the 'Configure Build/Deploy' step, and am attempting to connect to a named instance of SQL Server 2008R2 that I just installed, called DEVELOPMENT. Assuming the server name is DB-01, I am using DB-01\DEVELOPMENT as the Server name in the dialog in the screenshot below. I'm also using the remaining settings in the dialog, but it keeps giving me the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
    establishing a connection to the SQL Server. The server was not found
    or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and
    that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
    TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the
    connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
    established connection failed because connected host has failed to
    respond.)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>DEV is the name of a database I created on the DEVELOPMENT instance. If I use DB-01 as the server name, which is the default instance, it connects. In the past, we've been developing from a database on the default instance, with no issues, but I'm trying to move to local, source-controlled databases. What am I missing with this not connecting?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: As a little more context, it's not the username/pw combination, or the existence of the DEV db on the instance, because I receive different errors if either of those are incorrect. It's simply not able to connect once I give it the named instance.</p>
