New Post: VS 2012 SimpleDemo: Plot won't render in WPF XAML Designer at Design Time

No, I cannot reproduce this.
I created a new WPF/.NET 4.5 project and added the OxyPlot.WPF 2013.1.52 nuget package.

I am using
Microsoft Visual Studio Premium 2012
Version 11.0.60610.01 Update 3
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50709

on a clean machine with a fresh installation of Visual Studio.
