The asp-page or asp-route-id or asp-action not translated to html in razor pages?

Question

I am using asp.net core web

In razor pages there is a asp-page but it is not translated to html.

<a asp-page="/Product/Add">Add</a>

the html is

<a href="" >Add</a>

why?

and also the asp-route-handler

<a asp-route-id="0" asp-route-handler="Delete">Delete</a>

is

<a href="">Delete</a>

Hi,65841535

asp-handler can only assign page name:

<a asp-page="/Product" >Product</a>  

If you use this code, then html will generate:

if you want to post to Add in Product, what is asp-route-handler? Is that your custom tag helper? Usually, you can use asp-page-handler like this:

And OnPost should be added to action name, for pagehandler to find:

public IActionResult OnPostAdd(int id)  
        {  
            //return RedirectToPage("/Privacy");  
        }
