Question

I have a Queue<T> object that I have initialised to a capacity of 2, but obviously that is just the capacity and it keeps expanding as I add items. Is there already an object that automatically dequeues an item when the limit is reached, or is the best solution to create my own inherited class?

Answer 1

I’ve knocked up a basic version of what I’m looking for, it’s not perfect but it’ll do the job until something better comes along.

public class LimitedQueue<T> : Queue<T> {     public int Limit { get; set; }      public LimitedQueue(int limit) : base(limit)     {         Limit = limit;     }      public new void Enqueue(T item)     {         while (Count >= Limit)         {             Dequeue();         }         base.Enqueue(item);     } }
