The expression is "a violation of the rules".

I can think of no circumstances where you would use "violation to".

Perhaps you could provide us with more details of why you want to use a non-standard construction.

Dear,
I sometimes come across sentences in the internet where " in violation to " is used and we discussed the issue with my friends who insisted that the usage of in violation to" is correct. Hence, I keep asking for more clarifications only to make sure and reflect the reasons.

Best Regards,
Satti

I don't know what else to say, compadre. An English teacher and two native speakers are saying that "a violation to" is unacceptable. I wouldn't wear yourself out trying to come up with a logical reason for the use of "of" instead of "to". Not everything in English makes sense.

Certain prepositions go with certain words- there's no explanation, just a pattern which people follow.
