Read the error message: it's couldn't make it any clearer!

The using block is missing a closing "}" character.  Make sure you have a matching "}" character for all the "{" characters within this block, and that none of the "}" characters are being interpreted as markup.

Now look at your code:

HTML

<code>
    <h2>Post</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home" , FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "form-horizontal", role = "form" }))
{ <<<<<---- Where is the closing "}" for this?
    <p>
        Title: @Html.TextBox("matatil");
    </p>
    <p>
 
        Tags: @Html.TextBox("metaKeys");
    </p>
    <p>
        Short Description: @Html.TextBox("metaDesc");
    </p>
    <p>
        Auther Name:@Html.TextBox("autharName");
    </p>
    <p>
         Page Contant:@Html.TextArea("Pagecntant");
             </p>
        </code>

My problem is just that I want to show my code on the browser. The code should correct or incorrect, but should appear on the browser. Visual Studio does not have to compile. Just like code displays at codeproject.com.

Of course it has to compile! It's can't be run unless it does, C# is not an interpreted language. :laugh:

The problem is that the @ character tells Razor to compile the code. You need to escape it by using @@:

<figure>
    <figcaption>
        Demo Display Code on Browser
    </figcaption>
    <pre>
    <code>
    <h2>Post</h2>
@@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home" , FormMethod.Post, new { @@class = "form-horizontal", role = "form" }))
{
    <p>
        Title: @@Html.TextBox("matatil");
    </p>
    <p>
 
        Tags: @@Html.TextBox("metaKeys");
    </p>
    <p>
        Short Description: @@Html.TextBox("metaDesc");
    </p>
    <p>
        Auther Name:@@Html.TextBox("autharName");
    </p>
    <p>
         Page Contant:@@Html.TextArea("Pagecntant");
             </p>
        </code>
