I'm trying to run a function in a task but I'm doing something wrong. Heres an example:
var t = Task<int>.Factory.StartNew(() => GenerateResult(2)); static int GenerateResult(int i) { return i; } In the end Console.WriteLine(t); This returns:
System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.Int32]
I want i to be 2. What am I doing wrong here? :/
You are printing the task object that you created. For result, see .Result property:
Console.WriteLine(t.Result);
You need to use t.Result.
For example
Console.WriteLine(t.t.Result); Your code essentially looks like this:
Task<int> t = Task<int>.Factory.StartNew(() => GenerateResult(2)); And when you write Console.WriteLine(t); you are actually just printing the Task and not the integer. To be able to access the result you need to add .Result.
