Unless he's declaring a tagged task type (which is possible only by deriving it from an interface), there's nothing you can pass as a parameter to Expanded_Name.  If he's declaring a standalone task object (with an anonymous type), then I don't think there's a way to do this even if the task is derived from an interface.
