Answer 1

There's no property that does that.  You could set the text to null and then back to the text repeatedly.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.

You could animate the Opacity property of the TextBlock to make it blink:

<TextBlock x:Name="textBlock" Text="Blinking!">
            <TextBlock.Triggers>
                <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="TextBlock.Loaded">
                    <BeginStoryboard>
                        <Storyboard>
                            <DoubleAnimation
                                Storyboard.TargetName="textBlock"
                                Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
                                    To="0" Duration="0:0:0.5" 
                                    AutoReverse="True" RepeatBehavior="Forever" />
                        </Storyboard>
                    </BeginStoryboard>
                </EventTrigger>
            </TextBlock.Triggers>
        </TextBlock>
