ASP.NET MVC doesn't work on events like ASP classic; there's no "button click event". Your controller methods correspond to requests sent to the server.

Instead, you need to wrap that form in code something like this:

@using (Html.BeginForm("SignUp", "Account", FormMethod.Post))
{
    <!-- form goes here -->

    <input type="submit" value="Sign Up" />
}

This will set up a form, and then your submit input will trigger a POST, which will hit your SignUp() method, assuming your routes are properly set up (the defaults should work).

It's worth noting for newcomers that this block of code would reside in the View (.cshtml) file

as per @anaximander s answer but your signup action should look more like

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult SignUp(Account account)
    {
        if(ModelState.IsValid){
            //do something with account
            return RedirectToAction("Index"); 
        }
        return View("SignUp");
    }

MVC doesn't do events. Just put a form and submit button on the page and the method decorated with the HttpPost attribute will process that request.

You might want to read a tutorial or two on how to create views, forms and controllers.

<input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Sign Up" /> but its not working for me
Not working is not an error. Explain (in your question, not in comments) what you see and what you expect.
