TaskFactory<TResult>::StartNew Method (Func<TResult>^)

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Creates and starts a task.

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

C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
public:
Task<TResult>^ StartNew(
	Func<TResult>^ function
)

Parameters

function
Type: System::Func<TResult>^

A function delegate that returns the future result to be available through the task.

Return Value

Type: System.Threading.Tasks::Task<TResult>^

The started task.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

The function argument is null.

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

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