Sql-server – “This server version is not supported.Only Up To Microsoft SQL server 2005 are supported” in Visual Studio 2008 Cannot Connect to SQL server 2008 R2

sql serversql-server-2008visual-studio-2008

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.

After installing SQL Server R2 I reinstalled VS 2008 SP1, this fixed my issue:
