How to handle Task.Run Exception

Question

I had a problem with catching the exception from Task.Run which was resolved by changing the code as follows. I\'d like to know the difference between handling

Answer 1

In your Outside code you only check whether starting a task does not throw exception not task's body itself. It runs asynchronously and the code which initiated it is done then.

You can use:

void Outside()
{
    try
    {
        Task.Run(() =>
        {
            int z = 0;
            int x = 1 / z;
        }).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
    }
    catch (Exception exception)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Outside : " + exception.Message);
    }
}

Using .GetAwaiter().GetResult() waits until task ends and passes thrown exception as they are and does not wrap them in AggregateException.
