Create a Task with an Action<T, T, ... n> multiple parameters


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.


Solution

  • 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
