Im using Generic.Queue in C# 3.0 and Monitor.Enter,wait,exit for wait before consuming the queue (wait for the element to be enqueued). Now im moving to C# 4.
Can anyone suggest me which one is fast and best especially to avoid locks..
BlockingCollection vs concurrentQueue or any thing else…
Note. I dont want to restrict my producer
Thanks in advance..
BlockingCollectionandConcurrentQueueare there for precisely this reason. I doubt that you’ll find anything better, or simpler to use. The parallel extensions team know their stuff 🙂Just a quick check on versions though – you’re definitely using .NET 4, not just C# 4? (For example, you could be using Visual Studio 2010 and thus C# 4, but still targeting .NET 3.5, in which case you couldn’t use Parallel Extensions.)
You may also want to start researching Task-Based Asynchronous Pattern, TPL Dataflow and the async/await features of C# 5… obviously you can’t use them just yet, but it doesn’t hurt to know what’s coming up.
