Create an control that sits slightly outside the visible area (so -1 at the top and clientsize+1 ) and then call ScrollControlIntoView:

public static class PanelExtension {
public static void ScrollDown(this Panel p)
{

    using (Control c = new Control() { Parent = p, Height = 1, Top = p.ClientSize.Height + 1 })
    {
        p.ScrollControlIntoView(c);                
    }
}
public static void ScrollUp(this Panel p )
{

    using (Control c = new Control() { Parent = p, Height = 1, Top = -1})
    {
        p.ScrollControlIntoView(c);                
    }
}
}
    //use the code, suppose you have 2 buttons, up and down to control the scrollbar instead of clicking directly on the scrollbar arrows.

        private void buttonUp_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

   yourPanel.ScrollUp();
}
private void buttonDown_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

   yourPanel.ScrollDown();
}

with yourpanel.SetAutoScrollMargin(1, 1); you can set very fine scrolling steps and then take a timer to call the srolling when buttons are down
