VS2005下数据库连接的问题

[yunsongzh]

我现在安装了VS2005,但数据库用的仍然是SQL Server2000,在程序中连接到数据库时发生如下错误：
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)，

是不是在VS2005中不能用SQL Server2000,只能用SQL Server2005? 我还没装SQL Server2005.如果可以用SQL Server2000,我应该做哪些设置？
谢谢各位了！

using System.Data.SqlClient;

private SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection
("Server=.;database=NorthWind;uid=sa;pwd=xx");

不会不能连接的，我现在用的还是2000数据库。检验你的连接设置。要么是不是SQL Server2000服务未正常启动什么的？

VS2005连接SQL Server2000没任何问题
要不微软也太面了
