Examples
This example shows two ways to create the same form in MVC. The first way uses the Using statement. The second way uses the MvcForm class directly.
<% Using (Html.BeginForm("ProcessForm", "Home"))%>
Enter your name: <%= Html.TextBox("name") %>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<% End Using%>
<br /><br />
<% Dim form As Html.MvcForm = Html.BeginForm("ProcessForm", "Home")%>
Enter your name: <%= Html.TextBox("name") %>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<% form.EndForm()%>
<% using (Html.BeginForm("ProcessForm", "Home"))
{ %>
Enter your name: <%= Html.TextBox("name") %>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<% } %>
<br /><br />
<% MvcForm form = Html.BeginForm("ProcessForm", "Home"); %>
Enter your name: <%= Html.TextBox("name") %>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<% form.EndForm(); %>
