Hi,
I would like to know whether VS.NET can edit XML document and
intellisense information from the schema the XML document is based upon
?
If not then are there any other editors or VS plugins that can do the
trick ?

vs.net enterprise can definitely do this. I'm pretty sure that vs.net pro
can as well, but I don't have that version on my dev system, so I can't
speak authoritatively.

The xml doc has to reference a schema that is in the same project.

Thanks for your answer.
I have VS.NET Enterprise.
I added both .XSD file and .XML file to a C# project. But when I author
the .XML file (which reference the added schema) there seems to be no
intellisense. Any idea ?
Thanks,

Basically all you need is to put that schema to the "Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Packages\schemas\xml" directory. See more
details on how this can be done for XSLT at
