Why does this work?
<h2>Index</h2>
@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
@Using (Html.BeginForm())
@<p>
Title: @Html.TextBox("SearchString") <br />
<input type="submit" value="Filter" />
</p>
End Using
but this does not?
<h2>Index</h2>
<p>
@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
@Using (Html.BeginForm())
@<p>
Title: @Html.TextBox("SearchString") <br />
<input type="submit" value="Filter" />
</p>
End Using
</p>
when saving this, VS changes it to
...
@Using (Html.BeginForm())
@
<p>
...
which throws lots of erros about html not being code
Edit: whole file, don't know if relevant http://pastebin.com/dJj5xiBC
Edit2: I'm trying to copy a C# code from this tutorial http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/introduction/adding-search
<p>
@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
@using (Html.BeginForm()){
<p> Title: @Html.TextBox("SearchString") <br />
<input type="submit" value="Filter" /></p>
}
</p>

You c'ant use paragraph tag as container of form try to replac it by div as follows:
<h2>Index</h2>
<div>
@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
@Using (Html.BeginForm())
@<p>
Title: @Html.TextBox("SearchString") <br />
<input type="submit" value="Filter" />
</p>
End Using
</div>
