for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)

{

taskQueue.Enqueue(Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>

{

// Do work.

}));

}

// Perform some work with the tasks when they complete.

Task.Factory.ContinueWhenAll(taskQueue.ToArray(), completedTasks =>

{

});

' Visual Basic

' Create and start some tasks

Dim taskQueue As New Queue(Of Task)()

For i As Integer = 0 To 9

taskQueue.Add(Task.Factory.StartNew(Sub()

' Do work.

End Sub))
