+When the button is selected, a form `POST` request is sent to the server. By convention, the name of the handler method is selected based on the value of the `handler` parameter according to the scheme `OnPost[handler]Async`.
 
 Because the `handler` is `delete` in this example, the `OnPostDeleteAsync` handler method is used to process the `POST` request. If the `asp-page-handler` is set to a different value, such as `remove`, a page handler method with the name `OnPostRemoveAsync` is selected.
