HTML Editor Intellisense can be added by going through the next steps

1.) Create XSD file that describe your web control

2.) Add to your web application local folder the XSD file and name it as your web controls library (TagPrefix)

3.) Add to your web form body the following attribute – 

xmlns:yourControlLibPrefixName ="urn:http://schemas.myCompany.org/myTechnology"

The attribute value should be the same as it is in the XSD file targetNamespace attribute

4.) yourControlLibPrefixName - Should change to your control library (TagPrefix) name.

5.) That’s all
