MVC3 Razor using Html.BeginForm problem

Question

This is probably a simple thing, but ive got the following code:

<div>     @using (Html.BeginForm()) {         <p>             ...         </p>     } </div> 

And it keeps complaining that the starting { bracket must be followed by a end } bracket, but its there, and all code examples doing this sort of stuff show this as the way to do it, so im a bit baffled as to why it doesn't work...

Answer 1

Probably there is an error in the code within the <p> and </p> tags.

Try commenting it out and see what the result is:

<div>     @using (Html.BeginForm()) {         <p>                     @*  = Server side comment out.                     ....                     *@         </p>     } </div>
