ASP.NET MVC 3 Razor - Sign Up and Login Form on the same page/view - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

I am using ASP.NET, MVC3, Razor. In my site, I have login form on all pages (in the top header) from where the user can log in at anytime. The issue arises when another page with another form comes. I am not able to figure out how to implement that. I have tried a lot , but I think I need a very small example to solve my problem. The example can be as simple like a registration form and login form on the same page and they work separately, all their validations and other stuff. The login form and registration form can be partial views or anything that some one can suggest which is reusable.
Here's the code of _Register.cshtml(shared view)
#model MVCRnD.Models.RegisterModel
#using (Html.BeginForm("Register","Account")) {
}
Code for about.cshtml on which the above shared view was placed
#Html.Partial("_Register")
Code for Account Controller
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Register(RegisterModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// Attempt to register the user
MembershipCreateStatus createStatus;
Membership.CreateUser(model.UserName, model.Password, model.Email, null, null, true, null, out createStatus);
if (createStatus == MembershipCreateStatus.Success)
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, false /* createPersistentCookie */);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", ErrorCodeToString(createStatus));
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
The partial view i.e. registration form is rendering fine. But when I click on submit button, it posts the whole form but take me to the register /Account/Register which is actually correct. But I want to be on same page and does not go to the other form. Do you want me to send the full code ? I can upload it somewhere and send you the link.

Not sure why you're having problems, but putting two forms on the same page is a very common practice regardless of what server-side language you use.
#using (Html.BeginForm("Logon", "Account")) {
...
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("Register", "Account")) {
...
}
Which translates to:
<form action="/Account/Logon" method="post">
...
</form>
<form action="/Account/Register" method="post">
...
</form>
