Set ApartmentState on a Task

Question

I am trying to set the apartment state on a task but see no option in doing this. Is there a way to do this using a Task?

for (int i = 0; i < zom.Count; i

When StartNew fails you just do it yourself:

public static Task StartSTATask(Func func)
{
    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource();
    Thread thread = new Thread(() =>
    {
        try
        {
            tcs.SetResult(func());
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            tcs.SetException(e);
        }
    });
    thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
    thread.Start();
    return tcs.Task;
}

(You can create one for Task that will look almost identical, or add overloads for some of the various options that StartNew has.)
