Using Html.BeginForm with querystring

Question

My url looks like this:

customer/login?ReturnUrl=home

In the login view, I have used this pattern of code which works fine.

@using(Html.BeginForm())
{
   ...
}

This magically generates following html

<form action="customer/login?ReturnUrl=home" method="post">

But now, I need to add an attribute (e.g., data-id="something") in the form. How can I do that? If I don't have any query string, I know I can do something like this:

@using(Html.BeginForm(action, controller, FormMethod.Post, 
                      new { data_id="something" }))

But don't know how to add querystring which should be in html:

<form action="customer/login?ReturnUrl=home" method="post" data-id="something">

I thought about using <form> directly but don't know how to specify querystring which is variable. And I have no idea how to achieve it with Html.BeginForm. Any tip would be appreciated.

RESOLUTION:

For now, I used <form> with following hint How to get current url value in View. The resulting view looks like

<form action="@Request.Url.PathAndQuery" data-id="something" method="POST">

But it would be nice to have an overloaded method of BeginForm for this.

Answer 1

Try @using(Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post, new { data_id="something" }))

It should use the default logic to construct the url, just as if you used BeginForm()

(never tried that though in such case, but I believe it should work)
