Answer

You are very close. In your XSD, simply replace,

<xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" />

with

<xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" 
           schemaLocation=
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xmldsig-core-20020212/xmldsig-core-schema.xsd"/>

and your XSD will no longer have that error, and your XML will be valid against your XSD.

Explanation

XSDs can be composed via xs:import and xs:include. In both cases, the location of the referenced XSD has to be specified with a required schemaLocation attribute, which was missing in OP's original XSD. By adding xs:import/@schemaLocation as shown above, the error is eliminated.

Update #1:

When you switched to use a local XSD, you made a mistake in your xs:import:

Change

 <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"
            schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xmldsig-core-20020212 
                            file:///C:/Temp/xmldsig-core-schema.xsd"/>

to

 <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"
            schemaLocation="file:///C:/Temp/xmldsig-core-schema.xsd"/>

(You were following an example for @xsi:schemaLocation in XML documents which has namespace-location pairs; xs:import/@schemaLocation is different.)

Update #2:

So my question is how to fix it because in edit mode XML is valid 100%?

Perhaps this is the disconnect. Editing an XML file in Visual Studio does not automatically validate it against an XSD. You need to do that in code or via a validating XML editor such Oxygen XML Editor or XML Spy.

Also, your C# validation code may have issues. See Validating an XML against referenced XSD in C#

Question 2

I created XSD using Visual StudioXML Tools. And I use following C# code to validate XML and facing this error.

Error

The element is not declared 'http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#:Signature'.

So my question is how to fix it because in edit mode XML is valid 100%?

Thank you!

C#

  private void buttonValidateXML_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {            
                bool result = IsValidXml2(textBoxSignedXML.Text, textBoxXSDFile.Text, "");
                rtbValidationResult.Text = result.ToString();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                rtbValidationResult.Text = ex.Message;
            }
        }

public static bool IsValidXml2(string xmlFilePath, string xsdFilePath, string namespaceName)
        {
            var xdoc = XDocument.Load(xmlFilePath);
            var schemas = new XmlSchemaSet();
            schemas.Add(namespaceName, xsdFilePath);

            bool result = true;
            xdoc.Validate(schemas, (sender, e) =>
            {
                result = false;
            });

            return result;
        }

UPDATE #1

I have tried different approaches but no joy.

And even if I reference XSD to local file it does not work. I see the same error.

 <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xmldsig-core-20020212 file:///C:/Temp/xmldsig-core-schema.xsd"/>

UPDATE #2

Even I use this approach no joy.

 public static bool IsValidXml1(string xmlFilePath, string xsdFilePath, string namespaceName)
        {
            XDocument xdoc = null;
            var settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
            settings.DtdProcessing = DtdProcessing.Ignore;
            settings.ProhibitDtd = false;

            try
            {
                using (XmlReader xr = XmlReader.Create(xmlFilePath, settings))
                {
                    xdoc = XDocument.Load(xr);
                    var schemas = new XmlSchemaSet();
                    schemas.Add(namespaceName, xsdFilePath);
                    schemas.Add(@"http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#", @"D:\Temp\xmldsig-core-schema.xsd");
                    xdoc.Validate(schemas, null);

                    return true;
                }                
            }
            catch (XmlSchemaValidationException ex)
            {
                // throw;
            }

            return false;
        }
