 @{     
     {
            var options = new OpenIdSelector();
            options.TextBox.LogOnText = "Log On";
}
        }
       @MvcHtmlString.Create(Html.OpenIdSelectorScripts(options, null))
   @* @(Html.OpenIdSelectorScripts(this.Page, options, null))*@
    
    }

It sounds like you're already in a code block not a mark-up block. What does the surrounding code look like? Does it work if you drop the @{ and }? — Rup

You're already in the

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{

block, so your

var options = new OpenIdSelector();
options.TextBox.LogOnText = "Log On";

block does not have to begin with @{. Pretty much what the error says.

You can also just move those two lines to the code block at the top, where you set ViewBag.Title, to keep your HTML free from code as much as possible.
