How to get the reference of TPL task's thread in C#?

Question

When I create a task as

Task task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => someMethod(args));

in C# 4.0+, how can I get the reference of the thr

Answer 1

Task.Factory.StartNew() queues the task for execution (see here). The actual thread that executes the task and when it gets executed is up to the TaskScheduler specified (the current TaskScheduler is used if none is specified).

In .Net 4 the default TaskScheduler uses the ThreadPool to execute tasks (see here) so if a ThreadPool Thread queued the task the same thread can possibly execute it later on.

The number of threads is dictated by the ThreadPool.

You shouldn't really care about which core your tasks are executed on.

Queuing a Task for execution will most likely schedule it to be executed on a ThreadPool Thread so you won't be at risk of accidentally putting the main thread to sleep
