ASP.NET MVC form without HTML Helpers

Question

I write ASP.NET MVC application and I found out for me an interesting thing. When I use in View:

@using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Home", FormMethod.Post))

a method Login of class HomeController is called. But if I write this html into View:

<form action="@Url.Action("Login", "Home")" method="post">

(form action is leading to the same action of the same controller) it is Index action called instead. Why? In both cases the same html below is rendered:

<form action="/Home/Login" method="post">

Thanks

nothing is wrong there. all expected behavious. @Url.Action("Login", "Home") returns string representation of your the action you write there.

Well, may be for others - I've bought a html template, not for a small money, but the problem was, the button was out of the form tag. So Index action was executed instead.
