I'm having a problem establihing my SqlDataSource connection.  Note,
my .mdf file is in the app_Data directory.  My original aspx looks as
is:

<div class="floater">
    <h3>CheckBoxList</h3>
    <asp:CheckBoxList
        id="CheckBoxList1"
        DataSourceId="srcMovies"
        DataTextField="Title"
        Runat="server" />
    </div>

    <asp:SqlDataSource
        id="srcMovies"
        ConnectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;
            AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf;
            Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
        SelectCommand="SELECT Title FROM Movies"
        Runat="server" />


I tried changing the sqlDataSource control  to the following:

    <asp:SqlDataSource
        id="srcMovies"
        ConnectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;
            AttachDbFilename=C:\Documents and Settings\Jon\My Documents
\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\Chapter3\App_Data\MyDatabase.mdf;
            Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
        SelectCommand="SELECT Title FROM Movies"
        Runat="server" />

However, I'm consistently getting this error...:

Server Error in '/Chapter3' Application.

establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that

I was able to get the connection to work before, but then I tried
updating something my SQL settings.  Anyhow I must have broke

has not been working for me.  Any suggestions?
