Mvc add id and css class in MVC Html.BeginForm()

Question

I am new to MVC.

How I can add id and css class in MVC Html.BeginForm().

This is html form.

<form id="frmId" class="frmStyle">
    ...
</form>

I tried this but got error.

@Html.BeginForm("actionName", "controllerName", new {id="frmId", class = "frmStyle"})

We add as part of htmlAttributes.

@Html.BeginForm("actionName", "controllerName", FormMethod.Post,
 new {id="frmId", @class = "frmStyle"})

why does id need to add a @ before it?

Geoff James Over a year ago

The @ character before the property names escapes them, so as not to clash with C# keywords. class is a keyword. You would get a compiler error if you didn't escape them. Not entirely sure why id is escaped in this answer though; AFAIK it's not a keyword.

@ is only needed for @class
