A:
You might try using an ItemsControl
setting the ItemsControl.ItemPanel
to a StackPanel with a TranslateTransform
applied on it. Then you can have a running Storyboard that adjusts the position of the Y coordinate of the Translate Transform.
EDIT: Example
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2"
Height="100" Width="100"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" >
<Border.Clip>
<RectangleGeometry Rect="0,0,100,100" />
</Border.Clip>
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{StaticResource Collection}">
<ItemsControl.RenderTransform>
<TranslateTransform x:Name="Transform" />
</ItemsControl.RenderTransform>
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger>
<ei:ControlStoryboardAction
Storyboard="{StaticResource TransformMove}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</ItemsControl>
</Border>
Then include this Storyboard in your control resources:
<Storyboard x:Key="TransformMove" Storyboard.TargetName="Transform" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Y">
<DoubleAnimation From="-100" To="100" Duration="0:0:10"
RepeatBehavior="Forever"/>
</Storyboard>

The ControlStoryboardAction is in Blend 4. The namespace I defined is xmlns:ei="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactions" and I believe they are in Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.dll. You will probably need to fiddle with the Width/Height of the Border and the Rect of the Clipping region to get it looking right, but it should function as is.
