Parameters
- action
- Action
The work to execute asynchronously.
- cancellationToken
- CancellationToken
A cancellation token that can be used to cancel the work if it has not yet started. Run(Action, CancellationToken) does not pass cancellationToken
to action
.
Returns
A task that represents the work queued to execute in the thread pool.
Exceptions

Examples
The following example calls the Run(Action, CancellationToken) method to create a task that iterates the files in the C:\Windows\System32 directory. The lambda expression calls the Parallel.ForEach method to add information about each file to a List<T> object. Each detached nested task invoked by the Parallel.ForEach loop checks the state of the cancellation token and, if cancellation is requested, calls the CancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested method. The CancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested method throws an OperationCanceledException exception that is handled in a catch
block when the calling thread calls the Task.Wait method.

' The example displays the following output:
' Exception messages:
' TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.

' Task status: Canceled
Remarks
If cancellation is requested before the task begins execution, the task does not execute. Instead it is set to the Canceled state and throws a TaskCanceledException exception.
The Run(Action, CancellationToken) method is a simpler alternative to the TaskFactory.StartNew(Action, CancellationToken) method. It creates a task with the following default values:
Its CreationOptions property value is TaskCreationOptions.DenyChildAttach.
It uses the default task scheduler.

Examples
The following example defines a ShowThreadInfo
method that displays the Thread.ManagedThreadId of the current thread. It is called directly from the application thread, and is called from the Action delegate passed to the Run(Action) method.
using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

' The example displays output like the following:

Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId)
End Sub)
t.Wait()
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays output like the following:
' Application thread ID: 1
' Task thread ID: 3
The examples show that the asynchronous task executes on a different thread than the main application thread.
The call to the Wait method ensures that the task completes and displays its output before the application ends. Otherwise, it is possible that the Main
method will complete before the task finishes.
The following example illustrates the Run(Action) method. It defines an array of directory names and starts a separate task to retrieve the file names in each directory. All tasks write the file names to a single ConcurrentBag<T> object. The example then calls the WaitAll(Task[]) method to ensure that all tasks have completed, and then displays a count of the total number of file names written to the ConcurrentBag<T> object.

using System.Collections.Concurrent;
using System.Collections.Generic;

Remarks
The Run method allows you to create and execute a task in a single method call and is a simpler alternative to the StartNew method. It creates a task with the following default values:
Its cancellation token is CancellationToken.None.
Its CreationOptions property value is TaskCreationOptions.DenyChildAttach.
It uses the default task scheduler.

Examples
The following example counts the approximate number of words in text files that represent published books. Each task is responsible for opening a file, reading its entire contents asynchronously, and calculating the word count by using a regular expression. The WaitAll(Task[]) method is called to ensure that all tasks have completed before displaying the word count of each book to the console.

Instead of using the InnerExceptions property to examine exceptions, the example iterates all tasks to determine which have completed successfully and which have been cancelled. For those that have completed, it displays the value returned by the task.
Because cancellation is cooperative, each task can decide how to respond to cancellation. The following example is like the first, except that, once the token is cancelled, tasks return the number of iterations they've completed rather than throw an exception.

The example still must handle the AggregateException exception, since any tasks that have not started when cancellation is requested still throw an exception.
Remarks
If cancellation is requested before the task begins execution, the task does not execute. Instead it is set to the Canceled state and throws a TaskCanceledException exception.
The Run method is a simpler alternative to the StartNew method. It creates a task with the following default values:
Its CreationOptions property value is TaskCreationOptions.DenyChildAttach.
It uses the default task scheduler.
For information on handling exceptions thrown by task operations, see Exception Handling.
