Parameters
- action
- Type: System..::.Action
The action delegate to execute asynchronously.
Return Value
The started Task.Remarks
Calling StartNew is functionally equivalent to creating a Task using one of its constructors
and then calling
Start to schedule it for execution. However,
unless creation and scheduling must be separated, StartNew is the recommended
approach for both simplicity and performance.
