    ViewBag.Title = \"About Us\";

@using (Html.BeginForm(new RouteValueDictionary { {\"Action\",\"Index\"}}))

Answer 1

The route value dictionary simply allows flexibility in defining the location that the form will POST to. Not everyone stops at controller/action. For example, let's say that I wanted my form to post to /Area/Controller/FormProcessor/Action/Parameter1/Parameter2. I cannot do this by using the simple Html.BeginForm("Action", "Controller") method.
