ASP.NET MVC3 Create a Form Element using HTML.BeginForm with specific attributes

I am trying to create a form in my view that will route to a specific controller and action, that will do so as a Get request, and that will have a class attribute "pull-right"

This is what I've tried so far...

 using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", "Get", null, new {@class = "pull-right"}))
 {
     <div class="clearfix">
         <label> In as: <strong>@User.Identity.Name</strong></label>
     </div>
     <button class="btn" type="submit">Log Out</button>
 }

But it it is throwing an error and I can't figure out how to correctly create this method. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Description

The right overload of the BeginForm method should, in your case, this

  BeginForm(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string actionName, string controllerName, 
            FormMethod method, object htmlAttributes);

Pass in the Get using the enum FormMethod.Get

Sample

 @using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", FormMethod.Get, new {@class = "pull-right"}))
 {
     <div class="clearfix">
         <label> In as: <strong>@User.Identity.Name</strong></label>
     </div>
     <button class="btn" type="submit">Log Out</button>
 }

The third argument, FormMethod, does not take a string, but an enum. Try FormMethod.Get.
