Async CTP: Does Task.Factory.StartNew use an I / O completion thread?

Question

I use Async CTP and wrote WCF service operation code like this.

public async Task<string> GetDetailsfromDatabase(string name) { return await Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { return CallDatabaseandGetDetails(name); }); } 

The StartNew call uses a thread-stream stream to navigate and retrieve data from the database. Is the thread blocked while db is running or is the I / O completion thread used?

Answer 1

You need to use the TaskFactory.FromAsync method:
