C# - OxyPlot how to add plot to windows form

Question

Trying out OxyPlot, installed and referenced packages. Copying and pasting the example from here http://docs.oxyplot.org/en/latest/getting-started/hello-windows-forms.html but it doesn't recognize plot1 from the last line. I am guessing because the control isn't added to the form. How do I add it? I don't see it in the toolbox, and I tried adding the control to the toolbox and can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

You may add the Plot Control Manually by appending these lines in the Form designer under the initialize component method.

private void InitializeComponent()
{
    this.plot1 = new OxyPlot.WindowsForms.PlotView();
    this.SuspendLayout();
    // 
    // plot1
    // 
    this.plot1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Bottom;
    this.plot1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
    this.plot1.Name = "plot1";
    this.plot1.PanCursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Hand;
    this.plot1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(500,500);
    this.plot1.TabIndex = 0;
    this.plot1.Text = "plot1";
    this.plot1.ZoomHorizontalCursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.SizeWE;
    this.plot1.ZoomRectangleCursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.SizeNWSE;
    this.plot1.ZoomVerticalCursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.SizeNS;
    this.Controls.Add(this.plot1);

    //
    // other comtrols
    //

}
private OxyPlot.WindowsForms.PlotView plot1;
