ASP.NET MVC Url.Action creating Get not Post

Question

I have:

public ActionResult Create(Guid appId)
{
    var vm = new CreateViewModel(appId);

    return View(vm);
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(CreateViewModel vm)
{
    // this does some stuff
}

Now, in the View I use this for creating the Form:

@using(Html.BeginForm())
{

}

Standard.

How ever, it produces the wrong HTML:

<form action="/SomeController/Create?appId=414FDS-45F2SF-TEF234">

This is not what I want posted back, I don't want appId what so ever. Just the Create

How do you get around this?

You can use another overload of Html.BeginForm to explicitly specify the action you want:

@using(Html.BeginForm("Create", "SomeController"))
{

}

This will not append anything to the URL by default.

Okay, so this won't add that get request on then

@No1_Melman, no, it will generate just /SomeController/Create.

Problem, I'm still getting no parameterless constructor defined for this object .... do I have to put appId in the constructor?

@No1_Melman, context? On which line are you getting this message, for what object?

Nope, its fine, the ViewModel i was passing back to the Action had no parameterless constructor, so I created one and it works :)
