我也搜索了一下，在旧MSDN论坛的一个帖子里找到了几个不同的解决方案。(链接不再工作，所以我删除了它)

最简单的执行似乎是使用WinForms PictureBox控件，并像这样(从线程中更改了一些东西，大部分是相同的)。

添加对System.Windows的引用。窗体，WindowsFormsIntegration和系统。首先绘制你的项目。

<Window x:Class="GifExample.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:wfi="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms.Integration;assembly=WindowsFormsIntegration"
    xmlns:winForms="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
    Loaded="Window_Loaded" >
    <Grid>
        <wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
            <winForms:PictureBox x:Name="pictureBoxLoading">
            </winForms:PictureBox>
        </wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
    </Grid>
</Window >

然后在Window_Loaded处理程序中，你会设置pictureBoxLoading。将ImageLocation属性设置为要显示的图像文件路径。

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    pictureBoxLoading.ImageLocation = "../Images/mygif.gif";
}

在那个线程中提到了MediaElement控件，但也提到了它是一个相当笨重的控件，因此有许多替代方案，包括至少两个基于Image控件的自制控件，因此这是最简单的。

GifImage.Initialize()方法的小改进，该方法从GIF元数据中读取适当的帧定时。

    private void Initialize()
    {
        _gifDecoder = new GifBitmapDecoder(new Uri("pack://application:,,," + this.GifSource), BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);

        int duration=0;
        _animation = new Int32AnimationUsingKeyFrames();
        _animation.KeyFrames.Add(new DiscreteInt32KeyFrame(0, KeyTime.FromTimeSpan(new TimeSpan(0))));
        foreach (BitmapFrame frame in _gifDecoder.Frames)
        {
            BitmapMetadata btmd = (BitmapMetadata)frame.Metadata;
            duration += (ushort)btmd.GetQuery("/grctlext/Delay");
            _animation.KeyFrames.Add(new DiscreteInt32KeyFrame(_gifDecoder.Frames.IndexOf(frame)+1, KeyTime.FromTimeSpan(new TimeSpan(duration*100000))));
        }            
         _animation.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
        this.Source = _gifDecoder.Frames[0];            
        _isInitialized = true;
    }

我不确定这个问题是否已经解决，但最好的方法是使用WpfAnimatedGid库。这是非常容易，简单和直接的使用。它只需要2行XAML代码和后面的5行c#代码。

您将看到关于如何在那里使用它的所有必要细节。这也是我用来代替重新发明轮子的方法

你可以尝试使用web浏览器UI控件，并设置html字符串为html图像标签…

XML:

    <WebBrowser Name="webBrowser1"/>

c#: f

    webBrowser1.NavigateToString(        
      @"<img src=""arrow-24.png""/>"
    );

这是我的动画图像控制版本。您可以使用标准属性Source来指定图像源。我进一步改进了它。我是俄罗斯人，项目是俄罗斯的，所以评论也是俄语。但是无论如何，你应该能够理解没有注释的一切。：）

我使用这个库:https://github.com/XamlAnimatedGif/WpfAnimatedGif

首先，将库安装到项目中(使用包管理器控制台):

    PM > Install-Package WpfAnimatedGif

然后，使用这个片段到XAML文件:

    <Window x:Class="WpfAnimatedGif.Demo.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:gif="http://wpfanimatedgif.codeplex.com"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
        <Grid>
            <Image gif:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="Images/animated.gif" />
        ...

希望能有所帮助。
