Difference between Task and TaskFactory

Question

Can any one explain the difference between Task and Task Factory?

task :

 public Task(Func<TResult> function);

Task Factory:

public static TaskFactory<TResult> Factory { get; }

Please explain with uses.

Answer 1

Simply put Task.Run is a simplified version of TaskFactory and does exactly the same. With taskfactory you just have some more options(e.g. TaskCreationOptions)
