There is an overload for that, if you supply the controller action, name, and form method.

@using (Html.BeginForm("ActionName", "ControllerName", 
            new { ReturnUrl = ViewBag.ReturnUrl }, 
            FormMethod.Post, new { @class="login-form" }))
{
  etc.
}

The most common use of the method is `Html.BeginForm()`, therefore, I wish Microsoft would make it possible to call `Html.BeginForm( new{ @class="something"})` without the need to care about all other parameters. – Shadi Alnamrouti Apr 17 '17 at 13:53

Agree it would be nice to only specify htmlAttribute, however you don't have to specify **all** the params, just the method: `Html.BeginForm(FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "something" })` – Ben Robinson Jul 15 '20 at 20:45

What does the 3rd parameter do? What's up with ReturnUrl? – SKREFI Nov 15 '20 at 13:50

Html.BeginForm("Index", "EIApplication", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data", **@class = "nea-forms"** })

Or simply using html :

<form action="/ActionName/ControllerName" method="post" class="login-form">

</form>

The question specifically states *"Html.BeginForm()"* – EvilDr Aug 22 '18 at 11:11
Also, I'm not sure if this will add the antiforgery token. Just something to keep in mind. – KSib Feb 03 '20 at 14:58
