Syntax Task.Factory.StartNew?

I am trying to start a new thread in VB.Net and having syntax problems.In C# this is we can do the same task using

var manualResetEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);
waitHandles.Add(manualResetEvent);
var taskOne = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => new Thread(TaskToRun).Start(manualResetEvent));[code]....

where TaskToRun is a void method with a single object parameter.All online converters generate similar code to this

Dim manualResetEvent = New ManualResetEvent(False)
waitHandles.Add(manualResetEvent)
Dim taskOne = Task.Factory.StartNew(Function() New Thread(AddressOf TaskToRun).Start(manualResetEvent))
taskOne.Wait()
