I am using Visual Basic 2008 Professional SP1 and SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and trying to complete the examples in chapter 17 but have a problem with the LINQ to SQL example starting on page 610.

I complete the "Add Connection" form on page 17( Figure 17-14) and test the connection, and the test succeeds. I then click the OK button and get the following message "This server version is not supporterd. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported.

Is there a fix or solution to this problem other then removing the current version of SQL Server and replacing it with an earlier version?
