Creates and starts a task.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

- Type: System.Func(Of TResult)
A function delegate that returns the future result to be available through the task.

Calling StartNew is functionally equivalent to creating a task by using one of the Task(Of 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.
