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.
I guess this doesn't directly answer the question, but why not just use a plain old form tag?
<form action='customer/login?ReturnUrl=@Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"]' method="post" data-id="something">
Alternatively, you can create a custom HtmlHelperExtension that renders a form with path and querystring. In this HtmlHelperExtension you can iterate through your querystring values and populate the routeValueDictionary which you then pass to a Html.BeginForm constructor.
If you don't want something so extensible you can just use the overloaded constructor of Html.BeginForm using
@Html.BeginForm("login", "customer", new {ReturnUrl = @Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"]},FormMethod.Post, new {data-id="something"});
