Creates a Task<TResult> that's completed successfully with the specified result.

generic <typename TResult>
static System::Threading::Tasks::Task<TResult> ^ FromResult(TResult result);public static System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult> FromResult<TResult> (TResult result);static member FromResult : 'Result -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<'Result>Public Shared Function FromResult(Of TResult) (result As TResult) As Task(Of TResult)Type Parameters
- TResult
The type of the result returned by the task.
Parameters
- result
- TResult
The result to store into the completed task.
Returns
The successfully completed task.
Examples
The following example is a command-line utility that calculates the number of bytes in the files in each directory whose name is passed as a command-line argument. Rather than executing a longer code path that instantiates a FileStream object and retrieves the value of its FileStream.Length property for each file in the directory, the example simply calls the FromResult method to create a task whose Task<TResult>.Result property is zero (0) if a directory has no files.

Remarks
This method creates a Task<TResult> object whose Task<TResult>.Result property is result and whose Status property is RanToCompletion. The method is commonly used when the return value of a task is immediately known without executing a longer code path. The example provides an illustration.
To create a Task object that does not return a value, retrieve the Task object from the CompletedTask property.
Starting in .NET 6, for some TResult types and some result values, this method may return a cached singleton object rather than allocating a new object.
