Creating

Task Class

This is a replacement for the ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem
For non generic task classes we call Task.Factory.StartNew and we pass in a delegate of the target method

System.Threading.Task myTask = new System.Threading.Task( () => System.Console.WriteLine("My new task") ); 
myTask.Start(); 

Factory.StartNew

Alternatively you could use this to create and start in one operation

System.Threading.Task.Factory.StartNew( () => System.Console.WriteLine("My new task") ); 

Task myTask = new Task( () => System.Console.WriteLine("hello") ); 
myTask.RunSynchronously();
