customize visual studio intelliSense while in design mode (webforms aspx)

in many cases intelliSense is coming to help when setting values to attributes or properties.

so as soon as you hit = (or : within style attributes) it will suggest all options available to be set. (according to the parameter you choose to assign with a value)

for example : font-family in style, as soon as you type : , you get to be offered by all fonts available .

my question is how could i make a custom suggestion ?

it looks like it's in C#, an enum type.

in my case (if it's relevant to the answer...)

I would like to add to intelliSense, a list of parameters values of my own, so as soon i will hit = it will offer me the options to set (those I previously added to visual studio).

this is an example for what i was looking to implement,

in the Ajax AutoCompleteExtender could be one more parameter to set if you choose to . ContextKey 

<cc1:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolKitScrptMan1" runat="server">
</cc1:ToolkitScriptManager>

 <cc1:AutoCompleteExtender ID="AutoCompleteExtender1"
        TargetControlID="TBX_FontsAC" runat="server"
        MinimumPrefixLength="1" EnableCaching="true"  
        ServiceMethod="FontNamesList_AutoCompDataSrc"
        FirstRowSelected="true".... and some more parameters......>
 </cc1:AutoCompleteExtender>

as it's only one of the options to go about , that is what i would like for now , as I remember there was some other scenarios i was thinking about it , so I've decided to try and implement this idea .

As far as I know you can edit the Intellisense files C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Xml\Schemas, there's some info on it here:

Be careful though! Back everything up first!
