    <h6>SignIn</h6>
    @{Html.EndForm();}

Answer 1

This should work:

@using (Html.BeginForm("YourActionName", "YourControllerName","Upload", FormMethod.Post)) {
    @Html.ValidationSummary(false);
    <p>
        Name: @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name)
    </p>
    <p>
        Age: @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Age)
    </p>
    <input type="submit" value="Sign In" />
    <h6>SignIn</h6>
}

...Assuming that you have validation attributes (e.g. [Required]) on the properties on the model.

Notice that the validation summary is inside the Html.BeginForm() block.

Also notice the TextboxFor syntax (rather than Textbox) which makes sure that your properties are strongly typed.

Also, make sure you have these settings in the appsettings section of your web.config file:

<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true"></add>
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true"></add>
