I'm using OxyPlot.WindowsForms and VS 2010 Ultimate.
I'm trying to add Control Plot but in Controls Menu there is no such thing like "Plot"!
Help!

The following is based on VS2012, but I think VS2010 is similar
- Right click in the toolbox
- Select "Choose items..."
- Press "Browse..." under ".NET framework components
- Select the OxyPlot.WindowsForms.dll assembly (note that there are versions for both .NET 4.0 and .NET 4.5)
- The "Plot" control should appear under "OxyPlot.WindowsForms Components" in the ToolBox

I am a new user to OxyPlot and tried to create an WinForms example in VS2012 Professional. I followed the steps to add OxyPlot to the VS designer toolbox but I get the following error when I add OxyPlot.WindowForms.dll:
There are no components in 'xxx\OxyPlot.WindowsForms.dll' that can be placed on the toolbox.

There are no components in 'xxx\OxyPlot.WindowsForms.dll' that can be placed on the toolbox.

Have you found a solution to your problem?
Thanks.

I followed the steps to add OxyPlot to the VS designer toolbox but I get the following error when I add OxyPlot.WindowForms.dll:I created a WPF project in VS 2012 Express, and I can't see the OxyPlot in the toolbox either (installed through NuGet). I tried to add the OxyPlot.Wpf.dll like you did for the OxyPlot.WindowsForms.dll and I get the same error message (although for Wpf):
There are no components in 'xxx\OxyPlot.WindowsForms.dll' that can be placed on the toolbox.

morty77> Don't think there is a toolbox component for OxyPlot, you should simply add the xmlns for it in your Control, like so:
xmlns:oxy="http://oxyplot.codeplex.com"
And then you can simply put the plot wherever you want in your WPF control.<oxy:Plot>
</oxy:Plot>
If you're new to WPF, you'll see quickly that the designer is not really the way to create your interface, you shouldn't use it really and use the XAML editor instead.Customer support service by UserEcho
I had the same problem, and solved it by making sure the OxyPlot.dll is in the same folder as OxyPlot.WindowsForms.dll (I copied it there).
