Hi,
This is due to your page required authenticated request....
so you have to bypass this register route.
are you mark your action method with Authorize attribute?

Hi

this is giving error because by default it will take index method.if u want to change this
than go to global.asac.cs page and change in this

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);

}

in this change put action name AS register and controller name AS Account AS u shown in question
than it will run.may be it will help u.
