Task StartNew Action in C++/CLI

In C++/CLI is there any way to do the following? (I think answer is no because of no Action support?)

public ref class MyClass {
public:
    void TaskMethod();
    void Start();
}

void MyClass::Start() {
    Task^ myTask = Task::Factory->StartNew(??TaskMethod??);
}

Action is just a delegate, which is fully supported in C++/CLI. (You might be getting it confused with lambdas, which do not have support in C++/CLI.)

Here's the syntax to create a delegate in C++/CLI.

Task^ myTask = Task::Factory->StartNew(gcnew Action(this, &MyClass::TaskMethod));
// For non-static methods, specify the object.      ^^^^ 
// Use the C++-style reference to a class method.         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
