TaskFactory.StartNew Method (Action<Object>, Object, TaskCreationOptions)

Silverlight

Creates and starts a Task.

Namespace: System.Threading.Tasks
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public Task StartNew(
	Action<Object> action,
	Object state,
	TaskCreationOptions creationOptions
)

action: Type: System.Action<Object>
The action delegate to execute asynchronously.

state: Type: System.Object
An object containing data to be used by the action delegate.

creationOptions: Type: System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCreationOptions
A TaskCreationOptions value that controls the behavior of the created Task

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The exception that is thrown when the action argument is null.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The exception that is thrown when the creationOptions argument specifies an invalid TaskCreationOptions value.

Calling StartNew is functionally equivalent to creating a Task using one of its constructors and then calling Start to schedule it for execution.

However, unless creation and scheduling must be separated, StartNew is the recommended approach for both simplicity and performance.
