Reviews for this release

I have used the Charting controls in WPF, and even they haven't been tested, I am amazed at their stability and breath of functionality. Outstanding work!

Currently using the controls within my own development.

Charts are coming along nicely keep up the good work. :) Had an initial problem with DataVisualisation.Toolkit in Blend 2. A bug in blend 2 prevented it from working under SP1. However copying the dll to the parent folder and referencing it from there fixes the problem.

Good work for this release ;) The only thing I didn't like was that you switched to a new namespace... it was a bit annoying to change the namespaces in all xaml files despite most work could be done by search & replace. The worst thing was that you changed the Properties for Orientation in Axis for charting from Horizontal/Vertical to X/Y ... but good work anyway for the rest of the toolkit ;)
