You'll need a ScrollViewer control, and (since the ScrollViewer allows only one content element) some layout container as, for example, a StackPanel. Example:

<Grid>
    <ScrollViewer>
        <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
            <Textblock>
            <Button>
            <Textblock>
            <Button>
            <Textblock>
            <Button>
            <Textblock>
            <Button>
            ......
        </StackPanel>
    </ScrollViewer>
</Grid>

This is correct, but don't use a stackpanel, use a `DockPanel`. `DockPanel` will adapt the correct height, whereas `StackPanel` will just keep going and never get a scrollbar unless you specify a `Height` for it. – DLeh Oct 03 '14 at 17:20
thanks, it is now scrollable but the layout changed completely, the textblocks and buttons are like only two of them in one screen. – Pratish Shrestha Oct 03 '14 at 17:22
@DLeh how do i use the dockpanel – Pratish Shrestha Oct 03 '14 at 17:26
Error 1 DockPanel is not supported in a Windows App project. – Pratish Shrestha Oct 03 '14 at 17:35
Sorry, I guess `DockPanel`s are in WPF. Maybe you don't need it with the way `StackPanel`s are done in Windows Apps. Use google, there will be plenty of other answers about how to make a scroll bar. – DLeh Oct 03 '14 at 17:45
