If you don't want to modify your DotNetConfig.xsd you could add the xsd configuration "inline".

In your case add the following attributes to the custom section

This is useful while testing an xsd locally because location_of_your_schema could be a local path and when you are ready to production change location_of_your_schema to the public url of the xsd file.

Note that the xsi:schemaLocation attribute must contain pairs of strings separated by spaces where the first string in each pair is a namespace URI and the second string is the location of a schema.
