It works like this:

<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" Width="340" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,0,0,0">
        <StackPanel Name="stackPanel1" Width="311">

        </StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>

TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.TextChanged += new TextChangedEventHandler(TextBox_TextChanged);
stackPanel1.Children.Add(tb);

For horizontally oriented StackPanel, explicitly putting both the scrollbar visibilities worked for me to get the horizontal scrollbar.

    <ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" >
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
    </ScrollViewer>

If you mean, you want to scroll through multiple items in your stackpanel, try putting a grid around it. By definition, a stackpanel has infinite length.

So try something like this:

   <Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
        <StackPanel Width="311">
              <TextBlock Text="{Binding A}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}" FontStretch="Condensed" FontSize="28" />
              <TextBlock Text="{Binding B}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="12,-6,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>

You could even make this work with a ScrollViewer

Stackpanel doesn't have built in scrolling mechanism but you can always wrap the StackPanel in a ScrollViewer

<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
  <StackPanel ... />
</ScrollViewer>
