Resolution:

-- There was something wrong with the registration of VS packages. We reset those and it resolved the issue.

-- We ran the following command from the

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE>devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs

-- We opened the existing project in Visual Studio 2005 and now we did not get the above error while dragging and dropping Microsoft and non-Microsoft Controls.

-- Tried closing and opening up the project again and still no issues.
