Looks fantastic but when I came to do some runtime databinding to a simple linq collection (selecting an x and y value into an enumerable anonymous type...) it failed miserably with an obscure error message.
With a bit of snooping I found that the problem is that the chart control always calls .Reset() on its IEnumerable(Of T) datasource before iterating the collection. Unfortunately the System.Linq.Enumerable.Iterator(Of TSource) that Linq returns as a concrete IEnumerable throws a "NotImplementedException" in its implementation of IEnumerable.Reset() - good one MS! (Check it out in Reflector)
Simple answer - call .ToArray() on your Linq collection and hey presto your Linq query will work as a chart datasource.
UPDATE - Click here and vote for MS to fix this bug!!!
