What do you mean "will"? You mean it can not for mow?
Have you tried it? SqlDatasource works just fine with sql server 2008 right now, and it only takes a moment to test this and see for yourself.
Then you configured something wrong. It does work for sql server 2008.
Ok, I will try to install the VS 2008 SP1 first to see what would be like after installation.

For design time connectivity (ie. Server Explorer) from Visual Studio 2005 you need to install this patch: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Support.

For design time connectivity from Visual Studio 2008 you need to install VS 2008 SP1, if I remember correctly.
