.NET Framework Task Parallel Library (TPL) Task: basic instantiation and Wait
Example
A task can be created by directly instantiating the Task class...
var task = new Task(() =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Task code starting...");
Thread.Sleep(2000);
Console.WriteLine("...task code ending!");
});
Console.WriteLine("Starting task...");
task.Start();
task.Wait();
Console.WriteLine("Task completed!");
...or by using the static Task.Run method:
Console.WriteLine("Starting task...");
var task = Task.Run(() =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Task code starting...");
Thread.Sleep(2000);
Console.WriteLine("...task code ending!");
});
task.Wait();
Console.WriteLine("Task completed!");
Note that only in the first case it is necessary to explicitly invoke Start.
