How do you connect to a SQL Server database from within a dev container? - sql-server

I'm currently working on a .NET Core project. When I run the application on my local machine (Windows) I can connect to a SQL Server database using my windows credentials.
I am attempting to shift into using a devcontainer within Visual Studio Code, but when I run the same application in the container (Linux) I get an error:
An exception of type 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred
in Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.dll but was not handled in user code:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing
a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not
accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL
Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP
Provider, error: 35 - An internal exception was caught)
I'm not sure where to go from here. What did I miss?

If you are using SQL Server, then do the following:

Open the "Services" app
Scroll down to "SQL Server(MSSQLSEERVER)"
Now go to its properties and start the service
Also, make sure you are using the correct connection string.

First you need to check whether SQL SERVER service is running in your system or not .For checking follows below steps in Windows.
Step 1 : Type "window" button + R ,This will open Run prompt.
Step 2: Type "services.msc" in Run prompt and hit the enter.

Following these steps, I have resolved this problem in my machine.

Check your SQL Server Service is Running or not
if the server is in remote location check port 1433 is not blocked by the firewall.
if this is not the default instance, Check SQL Server Browser is running or not
Check the network connection on client PC, and verify the connection to the server using PING or TELNET
Check whether TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled or not.
for more details Why am I getting "Cannot Connect to Server - A network-related or instance-specific error"?
