I am using ASP.Net MVC 3 (Entity Framework) with Sql server 2008. Connection string is fine in web.config. But sometimes i get the following exception from my application: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) Generated: Wed, 02 May 2012 05:05:21 GMT System.Data.EntityException: The underlying provider failed on Open. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.
