0	In general, when you are trying to get the list of server to connect to Sql server Express; check for YourComputerName\SqlExpress database engine. Perhaps you are not selecting the right database engine. As far as using ASP.NET MVC is concerned, you can use LocalDB (compact version of sql express) in asp.net mvc. This is file based database that supports everything that is in SqlExpress and it doesn't need any installation. You can create LocalDb in App_Data folder in Visual Studio by using Database Explorer. If you are using ASP.NET MVC 5, it gets automatically created in the ASP.NET MVC new project template when you run the default application and try to register a username. Hope this will help.
