Web Forms :: Connection To Database From Local Visual Studio Not Working - Code In Separate File?

I recently started NOT putting code in separate file. I am using vb. I am having a problem with my database connection. The live code is working just fine....but when I try to debug locally. i get this error. connection to the database from my local visual studio is not working. 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)

Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("Select count (*) from Classifieds where (ClassifiedCatagory = 'Antiques')", MyConn)
