I'm getting an SQLException. I'm getting the following error.

The database 'C:\BEGASPNET2\CHAPTERS\BEGIN\CHAPTER03\WROXUNITED \APP_DATA\ASPNETDB.MDF' cannot be opened because it is version 611. This server supports version 603 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported.
Could not open new database 'C:\BEGASPNET2\CHAPTERS\BEGIN\CHAPTER03\WROXUNITED \APP_DATA\ASPNETDB.MDF'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:\BegASPNET2\Chapters\Begin\Chapter03\WroxUnited\ App_Data\aspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

What do I need to upgrade?

Hi Django,
           The problem is the version of SQL Server/ SQL Express 2005 that you are running, it seems like it isn't fully up to date. I have a couple of quick questions for you.

1) What version of SQL Express/Sql Server are you running? June CTP? Final release?
2) If it is the full one, did you ever install the beta beforehand?

It seems like you have some beta "bits" left over. You'll need to uninstall and install/reinstall the latest one. The problem is discussed in this thread:

http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=36651 and also Dave Sussman gives a useful URL http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archi...30/413764.aspx in this article for tool to help with uninstallation.
