How to generate WPF Xaml through XSD (xml schema definition)

Question

Hi Experts
I am working on Projects where we need to generate wpf ui (xaml) at runtime as per different requirements. We are trying to generate xaml from xsd file. We are able to generate UI from xml but as size of xml can be large we are reluctant to use xml as xaml
generation source. I am attaching a sample image what we are trying to do
UI elements Description
For each complex node in xsd, we need a panel which can have add or delete button depending on minoccurs and maxoccurs of the node. Inside panel we want to add different ui elements.
Please suggest if there is any way to do this or any one have worked in this direction?
Thanks

I should think you could use xsl on xsd to generate xaml.
I have used xsl on xml to do this sort of thing - for reporting style stuff. 
Xsd is just an odd kind of xml so I should think that's do-able.
Failing that.
You could use the template approach and generate xml from that but use c# to read the xsd.
You would have like a textbox template etc.
Is that UI truly representative?
You could leverage the approach I use in this:

The EditRow user control has label + editing control as a pair.
You would add another control for that pattern thing I see in grey after some of those.
But you could essentially iterate the fields in an xsd , decide what control to use based on field type. 
Set the label....
Add that to a Listbox.
You have a big bunch of xsd and you're thinking of generating the UI?
I suppose you could then use icustomtypeprovider to generate matching viewmodels inheriting some base vm functionality.
I don't follow how a "supporting dll" comes into this.
Could you explain?
Hope that helps.
