[c#] Passing a method parameter using Task.Factory.StartNew

I have the following code:

var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(CheckFiles, cancelCheckFile.Token, TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning, TaskScheduler.Default);

private void CheckFiles()
{
  //Do stuff
}

I now want to amend CheckFiles to accept and integer and a BlockingCollection reference

private void CheckFiles(int InputID, BlockingCollection<string> BlockingDataCollection)
{
  //Do stuff
}

I can't seem to find a way to Start this task as I did above.

Can you help?

Thanks

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Task.Factory.StartNew(() => MyMethod("param value"));
    }

    private static void MyMethod(string p)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(p);
    }
}

Try this,

        var arg = new { i = 123, j = 456 };
        var task = new TaskFactory().StartNew(new Func<dynamic, int>((argument) =>
        {
            dynamic x = argument.i * argument.j;
            return x;
        }), arg, CancellationToken.None, TaskCreationOptions.AttachedToParent, TaskScheduler.Default);
        task.Wait();
        var result = task.Result;

Construct the first parameter as an instance of Action, e.g.

var inputID = 123;
var col = new BlockingDataCollection();
var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(
    () => CheckFiles(inputID, col),
    cancelCheckFile.Token,
    TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning,
    TaskScheduler.Default);

For passing a single integer I agree with Reed Copsey's answer. If in the future you are going to pass more complicated constucts I personally like to pass all my variables as an Anonymous Type. It will look something like this:

foreach(int id in myIdsToCheck)
{
    Task.Factory.StartNew( (Object obj) => 
        {
           var data = (dynamic)obj;
           CheckFiles(data.id, theBlockingCollection,
               cancelCheckFile.Token, 
               TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning, 
               TaskScheduler.Default);
        }, new { id = id }); // Parameter value
}
