I recently installed the new 6/13/2008 release of MM.NET. I changed the App.config files in both the Business object project and the windows forms project and copied the connection string straight from the properties of the Server Explorer | Data Connection in Visual Studio 2008.
Whenever I try to run the sample app, I get a SQL client error. From the stack (below) it looks to me that there is a problem somewhere in that I am using a named instance of SQL Server. Please note that "Server" line near the top of the call stack shows two backslashes:

Server="DIS-PMCDERMOTT2\\PMCDDEV"

Here's my connection string from the App.config:
"Data Source=DIS-PMCDERMOTT2\PMCDDEV;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=True" (Only one backslash)

My suspicion is this is an issue with a missing escape character for C# somewhere that is not liking the backslash in a named instance SQL name.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I'm at a loss. TIA.
Patrick
