    This error is occuring because you can’t connect to the instance. Check your connection string and ensure that your parameters are correct:

    Data Source=myServerAddress\NamedInstance;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;
    

    Use your connection string parameters to manually connect to the instance through SSMS. That’ll give you a good indication that it is right/wrong.
