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.

Here's The way that worked for me

Html.BeginForm("Profile", "Partner", routeValues: new {id=Partner.partner_id},method:FormMethod.Post) 

It was almost like there was a problem with overloading the method, but by specifying what things are, it seems to work fine...
