Two area with same controller name

AdminAreaRegistration.cs enter image description here

 @using (Html.BeginForm("UserLogin", "Login", 
 new { area = "", model = this.Model, returnUrl = Request.QueryString["returnUrl"] },      
 FormMethod.Post, new { @Id = "frmLogin" }))

But i got an error:

You have to define the area in the HTML helper tag as below

your area name must be defined in the HTML helper.

@using (Html.BeginForm("UserLogin", "Login", 
new { area = "YOUR AREA NAME", model = this.Model, returnUrl = Request.QueryString["returnUrl"] },      
FormMethod.Post, new { @Id = "frmLogin" }))
