Create an OxyPlot in WPF

I'm working with OxyPlot in WPF and have some problems. I'm trying to create an app and want to use OxyPlot to create a chart. Everything works except that the plot/the data won't show up. I can't seem to figure out why.

Here is some of my xaml code: 

<UserControl x:Class="myNameSpace.MainPanel"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
             xmlns:app="clr-namespace:myNameSpace"
             xmlns:oxy="http://oxyplot.org/wpf"
             mc:Ignorable="d"
             d:DesignHeight="1200"
             d:DesignWidth="1920">
    <UserControl.DataContext>
        <local:MainViewModel/>
    </UserControl.DataContext>
    ....
    <oxy:Plot Title="{Binding Title}" Margin="760,689,606,228" Width="504" Height="283">
            <oxy:Plot.Series>
                <oxy:LineSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Points}"/>
            </oxy:Plot.Series>
        </oxy:Plot>

and my MainViewPanel class looks like this: 

public class MainViewModel
        {
            public MainViewModel()
            {
               this.Title = "Example 2";
               this.Points = new List<DataPoint>
                              {
                                  new DataPoint(0, 4),
                                  new DataPoint(10, 13),
                                  new DataPoint(20, 15),
                                  new DataPoint(30, 16),
                                  new DataPoint(40, 12),
                                  new DataPoint(50, 12)
                              };
            }

            public string Title { get; private set; }

            public IList<DataPoint> Points { get; private set; }
     }

This is how the chart looks like when I run my code

Solution

  • I don't see local namespace prefix defined. If the MainViewModel is in the AnnaEmilie namespace, change local:MainViewModel to app:MainViewModel
