System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException A network-related or instance-specific error

As the title suggests this is the exception from my stacktrace.

I am trying to obtain a connection to my SQL Server 2008 R2 database hosted on a windows 2003 server.

My connection string is:

Data Source=server\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=sqlDB;Integrated Security=SSPI

Any help would be much appreciated.

Refreshing database in SQL Server Object Explorer helped me with that issue.
