In ASP.NET MVC I'm using the HTML helper
Html.BeginForm("ActionName", "Controller", FormMethod.Post);
But I need to post to: /controller/action/23434
How do I pass in the ID?

Matt's should work fine. If you are still passing in FormMethod.Post, though, you need to do it like this:
Html.BeginForm("action","controller", new { Id = 12345 }, FormMethod.Post);
Reversing the third and fourth parameters will result in the Id being treated as an attribute instead of a route value.

I am losing the existing route values when I am using this method. Say my url was `/controller/action?type=golden`, the form target (using your way) now becomes `/controller/action/12345` while I want it to be `/controller/action/12345?type=golden`. Do you know any way I could preserve the existing route values and append my own too? – Arnab Chakraborty Mar 27 '12 at 07:07

1@Aki Try adding `type` as a hidden field within the form and it should get sent along. – Jonathan Freeland Mar 27 '12 at 13:34

I could, but you see that's not my problem. Its not necessary that I have only `type` in my query string, I could have N number of params, which might be different in different actions. It would be a real pain to go into all those actions and add the query params as hidden fields. – Arnab Chakraborty Mar 28 '12 at 03:22

4check the parameter name routeValues - make sure you are using that one not htmlAttributes. – Matt Hinze May 18 '09 at 15:44

Html.BeginForm("action", "controller", new { id = ViewBag.FileID },
FormMethod.Post, new { id = "feedbackform" })
As for the querystring, ?type=golden, I don't know how to do that. Of course, a querysting is a get, and undermines the whole purpose of FormMethod.Post. I mean, you could use FormMethod.Get, if you want querystring data, and this might be what you are looking for.
Additionally, you can avoid html.beginform and do the querystring, get + post, manually with a form tag.
Thirdly, if you are using the form, you can make a hidden field:
[input type=hidden name="type" value="golden"]
Then, when the submit button is pressed the value is passed properly as a form variable.
