During development on my local computer, I am able to connect to the remote (Production) SQL Server with no issues, but when I deploy the application to said production server, I get this error:
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: 52 - Unable to locate a Local Database Runtime installation. Verify that SQL Server Express is properly installed and that the Local Database Runtime feature is enabled.
I have done I believe all the things suggested to resolve this problem with no success. Please help if you can. Thanks!
I figured out the answer to my issue. I am using ASP.NET Identity and it created it's own connection but I wanted to use my own database. When I deployed my application that connection was broken. Changed the Identity connection to my own database connection and all worked as expected.

My razor website gives this error and wouldn't proceed. What's wrong?

Sounds like your web server doesn't have the localDB engine installed on it. Are you using shared hosting? Might want to check with your hosting provider to see what database services they provide.
I am using Visual Studio 2013 with update 5. I created a SQL database on Azure.
Now I am trying to connect to it in VS and SQL Server Management Studio, but I get this error

Before connecting to Azure SQL I have taken these steps:
Added machine's IP in SQL Azure firewall
Opened port 1433 by adding a new outbound rule in firewall on my local machine
I want know which step I missing in whole process.
Well. This is hapenning because tha address you're using isn't ok to access. Try to connect through the IP, and make sure you're using the PUBLIC IP/DNS. Try to open the firewall on both sides. That's all that I could help you with the information error reported for you. The conection string that you're using is not ok or not accessible.
VS2013 and above has a decent cloud explorer screen, I'd recommend navigating to the resource through that first. You can also use the Server Explorer to navigate to the right resource and open in in SQL Server Object Explorer. That will at least eliminate if it's an issue with your stored credentials.

I am using Visual Studio 2013 and SQL Server 2012!
By default, SQL Server have network access disabled after a fresh install. You need to use the SQL Configuration Manager to allow remote connections to the instance.
See this post:

If after this you still can't connect, verify that SQL Server ports are not been blocked by the machine firewall.
I am developing an application that contains a small SQL Server database File.
On my machine, it works fine. I am using Microsoft Visual C# Express 2010.
I have sent my project to a colleague. He is using the same software. And he has placed the database file in the same place (c:\folder\db.mdf). However, he gets the following error when trying to open the connection:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was unhandled
Message=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

How can I help my colleague get connected? He is on the other side of the country.
There are several ways to copy a database from one machine to another - the way I normally do it is to use SQL Server management studio to do a backup on the "from" and then to do a restore on the "to".

Make sure TCP/IP is turned on. I think the Express edition has it off by default. Go to Configuration Tools > Sql Server Configuration Tools then click Protocols for SQLExpress (or whatever your instance name is) then make sure TCP/IP is enabled.
