Changing the delay timer? (c#)

Short Question. This is my Code.

var t = Task.Run(async delegate
{
    await Task.Delay(10);
    return 42;
});
t.Wait();

Thats what I will work with in General. But later in my Code I Need the delay to vary. I tried something like this already but I that does not seem right:

t.Wait(page*11);

(Whenever I click a button the variable "page" would Change. So Pretty much a new value everytime)

Solution

  • You could declare a variable and pass it's value to the delegate you pass in Task.Run as below: 

    // define here the delayParam
int delayParam = 10;

var t = Task.Run(() => 
{
    await Task.Delay(delayParam);
    return 42;
});
t.Wait();

    The return type of Task.Run is a Task<T> or just a Task if nothing it's returned. You can block on waiting the result of a Task, like you already do, by calling the Wait method. You can't pass arguments to the result...
