sql server - not showing when addin gconnection from vs2005

[R]

Hi,

I can't see the sql server(express) on localhost to connect to it from
vs2005. Is there something I need to run to register the sql server on local
host? I installed vs2005 only and would like to run it with sql 2005 client.

Thanks
