using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace pc.tplExample03
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var t1 = new Task<int>(() => {
var rnd = new Random(DateTime.Now.Millisecond);
var result = rnd.Next(1000,2000);
Task.WaitAll(Task.Delay(result));
return result;
});
t1.Start();
//wait for
result
int randomInt = t1.Result;
Console.WriteLine(randomInt);
}
}
}
in the above function we create a task that returns a value, we can couple this with our parameter example from before
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace pc.tplExample03
{
class Program
{
static Random rnd = new Random(DateTime.Now.Millisecond);
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int result = Task.Factory.StartNew<int>(Square, 5).Result;
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
static int Square(object o)
{
int num = Convert.ToInt32(o);
int delay = rnd.Next(1000, 5000);
Task.WaitAll(Task.Delay(delay));
return num * num;
}
}
}
basically the same thing as before but this time we pass a parameter with our func, however we are still restricted by calling the result property; calling the result property of a task halts the calling thread until the task returns.
