  <p>sqlConnection.ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'            </p>
  
  <p>NOTE:  I'm running this on my dev machine.  When it runs on live web server, all is well.  It is unique to my system.</p>
  
  <p>I'm I missing a configuration setting with Sql Server 2008?</p>
