We have customer reps out in the field who connect to our legacy SQL Server 2000 database at headquarters via various ASP.NET applications. The web apps on the web server connect to the SQL Server 2000 database instance on the DatabaseServer using DBMSSOCN:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="FOO"
connectionString="Data Source=192.168.1.84,1080;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;
Initial Catalog=boo;User Id=hoo;Password=abc123;Pooling=yes"/>
</connectionStrings>
Will our web apps be able to connect to to SQL Server 2012 Express in the same manner as they're doing now with SQL Server 2000?
