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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 – Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) 
I got this error when I started using LoginStatus Control. It seemed very wiered. After lot of struggle I found out this is caused by CSSAdapters.
Open CSSFriendlyAdapters.browser  (or something similar)
Look for this line and remove or comment it.
<adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginStatus"
 adapterType="CSSFriendly.LoginStatusAdapter" />
Now you LoginControl will work without any issues.

Follow these steps, to make your webpage IE8 compatible. Feel free to add more pointers in comments.
1. Make your webpages Xhtml 1.1 compatible by adding this on top of your .aspx or .html page
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
2. Remove all Inline Styling
Donot use inline styling

[table style="width:100px;height:200px;background-color:#ebebeb;"] [/table]

Instead use

.tableStyle1 {
width:100px;
height:200px;
background-color:#ebebeb;
}

[table class="tableStyle1"] [/table]

Replace ‘[' & ']‘ with ‘< ' and '>‘

3. Validate your CSS using
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate_by_uri+with_options
Profile : CSS Level 2.1
Medium : ALL
Warnings : ALL or Normal Report

4. Use XHTML equivalents for outdated / deprecated html tags
