Does anyone know if the types in the .NET 4.0 release of System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization can be used in WPF? I'm looking to develop a .NET 4.0 WPF application which will create 2D plots and cannot tell from if the WPF toolkit is now necessary in .NET 4.0.

They can be used with the control WindowsFormsHost. But I haven't even tried to use these charts with wpf so I can be wrong. – vortexwolf

The charts in System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization are Winforms charts, but they can still be used in WPF if you use a WindowsFormsHost. See MSDN.
