How to set up an SQL server

Hi,

I learnt some SQL in university, and would like to continue to practice by setting up my own SQL server, creating a database and running some queries.

I have Visual Studio 2010, and would like to use C# as the programming language.

Please could someone advise how I should go about setting up a server, creating a database, and then accessing it using C#?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
I had already seen that link, but it doesn't seem to mention (from what I can see), how to actually set up the server itself.

Thanks
