Create UI from class

I'am looking for a tool, which can generate a user Interface from a class. Let me have an example.

This class with some pseudo attributes:

class BussinessModel
{
    [UiReadOnly]
    [UiSingleLine]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [UiSingleLine]
    public string Tile { get; set; }

    [UiMultiLine]
    public string Description { get; set; }
}

could generate a UI (XAML for the ui) like this:

The generated ui

EDIT: I fogot to mention about I want "ready to use" bindings which can be used when the given class is the viewmodel (MVVM)

Is there any tool out there which can do something like this (with a single click)?

You could look at Naked Objects (https://github.com/NakedObjectsGroup/NakedObjectsFramework)

and maybe Executable UML (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_UML)

Naked Objects will dynamically generate Web UI from class definitions at runtime. It also handles persistence via EntityFramework.

What you basically need is a dataform.

a search on the "wpf dataform" gives the following link :

for the validation attributes, you can start from this one :

there are also a few commercially available, mainly from Telerik or ComponentOne.

Hope this helps
