Question

Is there any library class I can use for a buffer in a consumer-producer situation with multiple threads?
I don’t very well understand the multithreading ways of C# so thew example of a perfect solution is in Java:

//Thread 1
Buffer buf = new Buffer();
Thread t2 = new Thread(new MyRunnable(buf) );
    while(true){
        buf.put(foo);
    }
}

//MyRunnable
private Buffer buf;

public MyRunnable(Buffer buf){
    this.buf = buf;
}

public void run(){
    while(!buf.IsFinished()){
        foo = buf.take();
        dosth(foo);
    }
}

System.Collection.Concurrent has a number of implementations of the IProducerConsumerCollection<T> interface (e.g. ConcurrentQueue<T>), which may be of use in your situation.

There is also a BlockingCollection<T> class that lets your thread block while waiting for the input.
