Add your .xsd file as a solution item (or project item). Visual Studio will automatically use any schema file it finds in a solution. You may have to restart Visual Studio for it to start working.

You will also need to reference the schema in the section element:

<mySection xmlns:name-of-schema>
...
</mySection>
