“The underlying provider failed on Open” error message

I recently had this common error message while working with WCF, entity frame work and SQL server.

Experienced asp.net developers maybe recognise this straight away as a connection string problem, but to me it wasn’t that obvious. On my travels I can across a great resource about connection strings, that is worth checking out if you’re new to microsoft development, or of you’re stuck on a possible connection string problem.
