)

Parameters

function
Type: System::Func<Object^, TResult>^

A function delegate that returns the future result to be available through the Task<TResult>.

state
Type: System::Object^

An object containing data to be used by the function delegate.

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

Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, you can use the Run method with an Action object as a quick way to call StartNew with default parameters. For more information and code examples, see the entry Task.Run vs. Task.Factory.StartNew in the Parallel Programming with .NET blog.
