I want to add multiple parameter in a Task containing Action. I reviewed the existing stack-overflow question Create a Task with an Action<T>
Kindly assist me how to pass multiple arguments in a Action method in a Task
Action<string, int> action = (string msg, int count) =>
{
Task.Factory.StartNew(async () =>
{ await LoadAsync(msg, count); });
};
Task task = new Task(action, ....);
The Action Method is
public static async Task<string> LoadAsync(string message, int count)
{
await Task.Run(() => { Thread.Sleep(1500); });
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} Exceuted Successfully !", message ?? string.Empty, (count == 0) ? string.Empty : count.ToString());
return "Finished";
}
Kindly assist me how to Create a action of an async method and how to add the action into the Task.
Just pass the parameters like this.
Action<string, int> action = async (msg, count) => await LoadAsync(msg, count);
Task task = new Task(() => action("", 0)); // pass parameters you want
If you want to also get return value
Func<string, int, Task<string>> func = LoadAsync;
Task<string> task = func("", 0); // pass parameters you want
var result = await task; // later in async method
Create another lambda which execute your action and pass parameters there
var task = Task.Run(() => youraction(parameter1, parameter2));
In particular your case you don't need create a lot of tasks and threads which will be created with Task.Run
or StartNew
If you change your method to be asynchronous without wasting threads with Thread.Sleep
public static async Task<string> LoadAsync(string message, int count)
{
await Task.Delay(1500);
var countOutput = count == 0 ? string.Empty : count.ToString();
var output = $"{message} {countOUtput}Exceuted Successfully !";
Console.WriteLine(output);
return "Finished";
}
Then you can call it anywhere without Task.Run
await LoadAsync("", 0);
Your LoadAsync
method already returning a Task<string>
which you can start and "await" whenever you want. So you don't need to use Task.Run
to start another Task(thread in your case).
var task = LoadAsync("param1", 3);
// do something else
var result = await task;
