Unable to load system.core when including oxyplot

I get the following error in the designer when trying to include the oxyplot component.

Microsoft.Expression.DesignHost.Isolation.Remoting.RemoteException
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

However I can see in the references that System.Core is included though the error says it wants version 2.0.5.0 and the version of System.Core the library is using is 4.0.0.0. I have installed OxyPlot via Nuget. Is there a problem with the Nuget package?

回答1:

This was a case of RTFM. There are two Nuget packages. The one I installed was the PCL version. To use the designer one must install the non PCL version of the WPF nuget package.

I had the same problem with a project on one of my machines. It seems to be an environmental issue. I've repaired Visual Studio installation and the problem was gone.
