Task and exception silence

Question

Why exceptions thrown within a task are silent exception and you never know if a certain exception has been thrown

try
{

 Task task = new Task(
  () => {
            


        

Answer 1

No, tasks are not threads. Tasks represent a high level abstraction - they are a unit of work that is inherently parallelisable. Threads run units of work.

In your first example, you create a unit of work and then tell it to run itself (how it does so is an implementation detail of Task). Whereas in your second example you explicitly schedule a unit of work (it would appear in a different manner to the implementation of Task).
