XML2HTML_ENTRY_FORM : The XML Structure - Step #1

I'm working on a module that should construct HTML forms + JS Functionality (for different input events) from a pre-defines XML's that contains set of rules as followed:

Definition of each input in the form - this XML will be send to the client and back to the server with the form input element values as part of it

The Validation/s we will do on the client browser for the specified input element/s

Dependencies between elements (behaviors)- for example: when a ListBox of Customers value changes - we should change the ListBox of the Support Persons

After I search for something similar in Google and I didn't find equivalent source code, walkthrough or product

I hope that someone could assist me from his experience while working on a similar solution.

Or by directing me to a product that gives this functionality or to direct me to relevant resources that can help

ASP.NET validation is in my area of expertise as I've built a number of ASP.NET style validators including a replacement for ASP.NET validators, "Professional Validation And More". (http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx).
I have not seen an XML framework that blends all the techniques you mentioned published commercially. I've seen a few users mention ideas related to it.
In any case, if you are going to build a wrapper around validators, I encourage you to start with a better validation framework. Microsoft's has so many limitations (see http://www.peterblum.com/vam/valmain.aspx for a list).

Thanks Peter for this Info

The XML2HTML_FORM module intend to construct static, stand alone HTMLs which attached to an ASPX pages with .NET web controls or HTML controls. The validation will be done on the client using JS functions that will use the basic functions and/or function that will use RegExp object. One of the parameters when validation will be fired is the XML that hold the set of necessary validations for each parameter.

I did not understand if its possible to use the Professional Validation out of ASP.NET
