SQLConnection.Open() Problem

Hi, 

When i run my script it gets about 5 lines before the bottom and kicks this out SQLConnection.Open()

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)

Does this mean that SQL Server 2005 Express doesnt allow remote connections and is there anything i can do to get round this (im running it locally)? My data Source is - SQLDataSource1 - Picturesdb.MDF and my local server is Localhost:1921. Code behind Below,

Imports System.IO

Imports System.DataImports System.Data.SqlClient

 Partial Class WebForm1

Inherits System.Web.UI.PageProtected Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpload.Click

Dim strFileName As String

Dim strFilePath As String

Dim strFolder As StringDim SQLConnection As Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection Dim SQLCommand As Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand

strFolder = "C:Documents and SettingsRoss HintonMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesuploadsiteimagesfolder"

strFileName = oFile.PostedFile.FileName

strFileName = Path.GetFileName(strFileName)

If (Not Directory.Exists(strFolder)) Then

Directory.CreateDirectory(strFolder)

End If

strFilePath = strFolder & strFileName

If File.Exists(strFilePath) Then

lblUploadResult.Text = strFileName & " already exists on the server!"

ElseSQLConnection = New SqlConnection("localhost:1921")SQLCommand = New SqlCommand

SQLCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

SQLCommand.CommandText = "spInsertImageName" ' your sp name

SQLCommand.Connection = SQLConnection

SQLConnection.Open()

SQLCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@image", strFileName) ' sp parameter name

SQLCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

oFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(strFilePath)

lblUploadResult.Text = strFileName & " has been successfully uploaded."

End If

frmConfirmation.Visible = TrueEnd Sub

End Class
