Try this,
<connectionStrings>

<add name="connectionstring" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings>

Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

Hello Mohammedr88,

can you please paste the code where are you getting error and also your code of appconfig.

One more thing to use the App_Data database you should have atleast sql server express.
