Connecting Datasource to SQL Server 7 database

Hi

I've been using the new features with ASP.Net 2 for some months now. I use the gridview control a lot with the sqldatasource. I recently started a new job and am having problems connecting a sqldatasource control to a sql server 7 database. At my old job we used sql server 2000.

I get the error: "SQL server version needs be 2000 or higher" when I try to set up a new connection.. I read some documentation that said you can use asp.net 2 datasource controls with sql server 7. Does anyone know how to get round this issue. I don't want to have to go back to 1.x methods of connecting data controls to databases using code.Crying

Thanks

As far as I know you will not be able to use the VS 2005 features from the UI with sql server 7
