Body
copied!<p>I've been trying to troubleshoot a Castle ActiveRecord exception for days now. Whenever I attempt to access the database I get an exception with an InnerException value of <code>"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."</code></p> <p>I'm trying to connect to an SQL Server Express 2005 database. I don't have any other database option because the school computers only have SQL Express on them.</p> <p>My connection settings</p> <pre><code>hibernate.connection.driver_class NHibernate.Driver.SqlClientDriver hibernate.dialect NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2005Dialect hibernate.connection.provider NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider hibernate.connection.connection_string Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=database.mdf </code></pre> <p>This fails to work even if I set AttachDBFilename to an absolute path. User Instance has no effect. The database file is currently in the root of the project mixed in with my WinForms classes. </p> <p>When using </p> <pre><code>hibernate.connection.connection_string Data Source=localhost;Initial
