I\'m not sure why this syntax complain error \"Enter is not declared. May be inaccessible due to protection level\" and must put \"@html(\" to get rid the error.

When you are inside a Using block you are in "code mode" in Razor.

So you need to use the @: (for single line statements) or @ .. (for multi line statements) to switch back to "text mode" and output html.

With using @::

@Using (Html.BeginForm("GetUser", "UserProfile", FormMethod.Post))
      @:Enter User id :-  @Html.TextBox("UserId",Model)  
      @:
End Using

or with using @:

@Using (Html.BeginForm("GetUser", "UserProfile", FormMethod.Post))
      @Enter User id :-  @Html.TextBox("UserId",Model)  
      @
End Using
