Return Value From Task

A task that does not return a value is represented by the System.Threading.Tasks.Task class.

A task that returns a value is represented by the System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult> class, which inherits from Task.

Returning a Simple Value

// var task1 = Task.Run(() => 5*2);
// or
var task1 = Task<int>.Run(() => 5*2);
Console.WriteLine(task1.Result);

Accessing the Result property blocks the calling thread until the task finishes.

Returning an Object

var task2 = Task<Employee>.Run(() => {
	return new Employee { Id = 1, Name = "Gandhi"} 
});
var emp = task2.Result;
		Console.WriteLine($"{emp.Id} {emp.Name}");

class Employee {
	public int Id {get; set;}
	public string Name {get; set;}
}

Returning a Tuple

var task3 = Task.Run<(int Id, string Name)>(() => (2, "Anna"));
var emp2 = task3.Result;
Console.WriteLine($"{emp2.Id} {emp2.Name}");
