vb.net - How to Declare new task as SUB with parameters

declare, parameters, task, vb.net

Solution

It's not possible. However, you could just use the parameters from the current scope:

Public Function SomeFunction()

    Dim somevariable as Integer = 5

    Dim testDeclaring As New Task(Sub()
                                   Dim sum as integer = somevariable + 1  ' No problems here, sum will be 6
                              End Sub)
    testDeclaring.Start()

End Function

Problem

As you know we have a new syntax in vb.net with possibility to create inline tasks so we could run it asynchronously. This is the correct code: ``` Dim testDeclaring As New Task(Sub() End Sub) testDeclaring.Start() ``` but now I need to pass a parameter in the subroutine and I can't find correct syntax for that. Is it possible any way?
