.DLL comments included in the .XML

I have a .DLL that i include in my Visual Studio 2008 project. The .DLL came with a .XML file that has all the comments for the properties and functions.

How do i make it so that VS loads up these comments as Intellisense, so that i have a definition for the functions?

-------------UPDATE---------------------
The files are placed under the same folder:

FTD2XX_NET.XML
FTD2XX_NET.DLL

When i look into Object browser, i do see the comments. I just don't see them in the intellisense.

The DLL and XML must exist together in the same location referenced by Visual Studio and they must have the same name.

It was my understanding that as long as the XML file was in the same directory as the referenced DLL then the comments would automatically be shown in the intellisense tooltips.
