Parameters

action

The action delegate to execute asynchronously.

cancellationToken

The TaskFactory.CancellationToken that will be assigned to the new System.Threading.Tasks.Task

creationOptions

A TaskCreationOptions value that controls the behavior of the created System.Threading.Tasks.Task

scheduler

The System.Threading.Tasks.TaskScheduler that is used to schedule the created System.Threading.Tasks.Task.

Returns

The started System.Threading.Tasks.Task.

Remarks

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

Starting with the net_v45, you can use the erload:System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Run method with an stem.Action object as a quick way to call erload:System.Threading.Tasks.TaskFactory.StartNew with default parameters.
