SQL Server Express is listening on a dynamic port and a static port(1433). I checked the TCP/IP properties.

Hello,
I have this Blazor Server Application, I deployed it to Windows 10 Pro. IIS 10 and SQL Express 2019 installed.
Here is my connection string:
"DefaultConnection": "Data Source=ABC\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=InventoryManagement;Integrated Security=True",
Here is the error message:
SqlException: 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 connection(provider: SNI_PN11, error:26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

Data Source=.\\SQLExpress;If you don't know the SQL instance name then use Visual Studio's SQL Object Explorer on the Windows machine. Otherwise read the docs or do a Google search.

Erland Sommarskog 100.8K Reputation points MVP2022-09-23T21:28:28.297+00:00 What you should do first of all is to apply the most recent Cumulative Update for SQL Server 2019. It's not really going to resolve your problem, but you are running the original release of SQL 2019, and there are tons of bug fixes and improvements in the CUs.
Before you try to get this working in Blazor, first try to connect to SQL Server through SSMS or SQLCMD. In this case you should be able to connect with
.\SQLEXPRESS. If you get this working, we can start to fight with Blazor later. (I know nothing about Blazor myself.)
