Task<TResult>.Factory Property

Definition

Gets a factory method for creating and configuring Task<TResult> instances.

public:
 static property System::Threading::Tasks::TaskFactory<TResult> ^ Factory { System::Threading::Tasks::TaskFactory<TResult> ^ get(); };
public static System.Threading.Tasks.TaskFactory<TResult> Factory { get; }
static member Factory : System.Threading.Tasks.TaskFactory<'Result>
Public Shared ReadOnly Property Factory As TaskFactory(Of TResult)

Property Value

A factory object that can create a variety of Task<TResult> objects.

Remarks

This property returns a default instance of the TaskFactory<TResult> class that is identical to the one created by calling the parameterless TaskFactory<TResult>.TaskFactory<TResult>() constructor. It has the following property values:

Property Value
TaskFactory<TResult>.CancellationToken CancellationToken.None
TaskFactory<TResult>.ContinuationOptions TaskContinuationOptions.None
TaskFactory<TResult>.CreationOptions TaskCreationOptions.None
TaskFactory<TResult>.Scheduler null, or TaskScheduler.Current

The most common use of this property is to create and start a new task in a single call to the TaskFactory<TResult>.StartNew method.

Note

Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, the Task.Run method provides the easiest way to create a Task<TResult> object with default configuration values.

The following example uses the static Factory property to make three calls to the TaskFactory<TResult>.StartNew method. The first starts a Task<Int32> object, which executes a lambda expression that returns 1. The second starts a Task<Test> object, which executes a lambda expression that instantiates a new Test instance. The third starts a Task<String[]> object, which enumerates the files in the C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\ directory. (Note that successful execution of the example requires that the directory exist and that it contain files.

        // Return a named reference type with a multi-line statement lambda.
        Task<Test> task2 = Task<Test>.Factory.StartNew(() =>
