TaskFactory.StartNew Method (System.Threading.Tasks) | Microsoft Learn

Source:: TaskFactory.cs

Source:: TaskFactory.cs

Source:: TaskFactory.cs

Source:: TaskFactory.cs

Creates and starts a task of type TResult for the specified function delegate and cancellation token.

public:
generic <typename TResult>
 System::Threading::Tasks::Task<TResult> ^ StartNew(Func<TResult> ^ function, System::Threading::CancellationToken cancellationToken);

public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult> StartNew<TResult>(Func<TResult> function, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken);

member this.StartNew : Func<'Result> * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<'Result>

Public Function StartNew(Of TResult) (function As Func(Of TResult), cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task(Of TResult)

Type Parameters

TResult

The type of the result available through the task.

Parameters

function: Func<TResult>

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

cancellationToken: CancellationToken

The cancellation token that will be assigned to the new task.

Returns

The started task.

Exceptions Examples

The following example uses two tasks to compute the Fibonacci sequence ending in F100 = F100-1 + F100-2 with seed values F1= 1, F2 = 1 and F1 = 0, F2= 1. Approximately half of the time, a cancellation token is set as the operations execute. The output from the example shows the result if the two tasks complete successfully and if the token is cancelled.

Remarks

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 Task.Run<TResult>(Func<TResult>, CancellationToken) method as a quick way to call StartNew<TResult>(Func<TResult>, CancellationToken) with default parameters. Note, however, that there is a difference in behavior between the two methods regarding : Task.Run<TResult>(Func<TResult>, CancellationToken) by default does not allow child tasks started with the TaskCreationOptions.AttachedToParent option to attach to the current Task<TResult> instance, whereas StartNew<TResult>(Func<TResult>, CancellationToken) does. For more information and code examples, see the entry Task.Run vs. Task.Factory.StartNew in the Parallel Programming with .NET blog.
