QueryString with ASP.NET MVC 6 Anchor Tag Helper

Question

I need to create the following html output:

<a href="account/register?provider=1">Register</a>

How can I accomplish this with ASP.NET MVC 6 anchor tag helper? It seems that there is no option for the query string part. I want to use

<a asp-action="Register" asp-controller="Account">Register</a>

but where do I put "provider=1"?

Did you try the asp-route-* attribute:

<a asp-action="Register" 
   asp-controller="Account"
   asp-route-provider="1">
    Register
</a>

Magic indeed. Great.

I don't believe this to be the right answer. This works fine for route parameters but if it is tagged as a [FromQuery] parameter on the argument of the controller method signature it does not get passed.

@Shawn, I have a [FromQuery] parameter on my action method, and this answer worked for me. I'm doing this: <a asp-action="Index" asp-route-embedded="true">Cancel</a> which gives me https://sitename/home/index?embedded=true.

This actually works, but I had to restart the app to make it work. Otherwise, the link wasn't generated with a proper query string.
