Generating a form using HTML Helpers

We can generate the same form using HTML Helpers as follows (HTML.BeginForm, @Html.Label, and @Html.TextBox generate the HTML form, label, and textbox elements, respectively):

@using (Html.BeginForm()){  <table>    <tr>      <td>@Html.Label("Name")</td>      <td>@Html.TextBox("txtName")</td>    </tr>    <tr>      <td>@Html.Label("Age")</td>      <td>@Html.TextBox("txtAge")</td>    </tr>    <tr>      <td colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="Submit">      </td>    </tr>  </table>}

The form tag will automatically close when you use the block.
