Getting this error "This server version is not supported.Only Up To Microsoft SQL server 2005 are supported" after I create a data connection in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL server 2008 R2. Any ideas would be great.

No other version of SQL server Installed.

The error occurs after I select server, then database. Just as I click OK I get that message.

Do you have other versions installed as well? Does it give the error on connection, or when you try a particular select? Does it also say " Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported"? - SteveCav
