MSChart on ASP.NET MVC 2

I upgraded my MVC Application using MSChart to MVC 2 and have ended up with broken image links for the charts.

I get no build errors anymore, and have completed the following steps.

First, I setup the following web.config lines.

add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting" 
assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"

and

add path="ChartImg.axd" verb="GET,HEAD" 
type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, 
System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false"

(NOTE: I took the chevrons off so the lines would appear)

The next thing I did was create this page with the following code. Which should, according to it working in MVC<1, showed 4 charts.

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" 
    Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="Scorecard.Views" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    Scorecard
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="applicationTitle" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderApplicationName" runat="server">
    <%=Html.Encode(ViewData["ApplicationTitle"])%>
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<form id="form1" runat="server">

<h2>
    Web Analysis Scorecard
</h2>

                                                          (double[])ViewData["TopCountryCounts"],
                                                          (string[])ViewData["TopCountries"],
                                                        SeriesChartType.Pie);
                Chart chartPieTwo = chartHelper.ResultingChart;

                int daysInMonth = DateTime.DaysInMonth(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month);
                foreach (double d in theValues)
                {
                    newValues[count] += d * daysInMonth;
                    count++;
                }

                chartHelper = new ChartHelper("Current Month Page Views",
                                              newValues,

                                              SeriesChartType.Bar);
                chartHelper.RenderChart(this);
            %>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
</form>
