Answer 1

Simple things to check (not sure what you've tried so humour me here):

• You're connected to the outside network.
• Instance\\Database name, username and password are correct.
• Instance and database are online and connectable (Azure servers not down for scheduled maintenance or run out of paid services.)
• Firewall rules are incorrect.

Also I think this question here is identical to your question. Try checking that out.

Answer 2

我认为您可能尚未配置任何Azure DB防火墙规则以允许您的计算机IP与Azure DB通信。
