Connecting to SQL Server Express in VS2003

Hi,

Please assist with the following.

How do I connect to SQL Server Express in VS2003? "Do I still use using System.Data.SqlClient;"?

What would the connection string be in the code? The following does not work.

try
{
string connectionString = "server=localhost;uid=webserver;pwd=wordpass;database=dbMV;";
// create a new SqlConnection object with the appropriate connection string

SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);

// open the connection
sqlConn.Open();
// do some operations ...
// close the connection
sqlConn.Close();
}
catch(Exception err)
{
Response.Write(err);
}

Try to write you connection string as following:

string connectionString = "server=localhost;User ID=webserver;pwd=wordpass;database=dbMV;";
