0	As the error suggest, it is telling to have later version of SQL Server. By the way, which application you are trying to connect to? SQL Server 2005 is very old database, the current version is Sql Server 2014.

0	How is your connecction string looking like, the typical database connection looks like below <add name="LogDatabase" connectionString="Data Source=My-PC;Initial Catalog=MydatabaseLog;User ID=dnf;Password=dnf;" /> See if your database connection string is proper.

0	name is an identifier for this connectionString in the web.config file. var connStr = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["LogDatabase"].ConnectionString; It has nothing to do with the database connectivity.
