The following example shows how to use a ConcurrentQueue<T> to enqueue and dequeue items:


using System;
using System.Collections.Concurrent;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class CQ_EnqueueDequeuePeek

   // Demonstrates:
   // ConcurrentQueue<T>.Enqueue()
   // ConcurrentQueue<T>.TryPeek()
   // ConcurrentQueue<T>.TryDequeue()
   static void Main()

      ConcurrentQueue<int> cq = new ConcurrentQueue<int>();

      // Populate the queue.
      for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) cq.Enqueue(i);

      // Peek at the first element.
      int result;
      if (!cq.TryPeek(out result))
      {
         Console.WriteLine("CQ: TryPeek failed when it should have succeeded");
      }
      else if (result != 0)
      {
         Console.WriteLine("CQ: Expected TryPeek result of 0, got {0}", result);
      }

      int outerSum = 0;
      // An action to consume the ConcurrentQueue.
      Action action = () =>
      {
         int localSum = 0;
         int localValue;
         while (cq.TryDequeue(out localValue)) localSum += localValue;

Concurrency while Enque'ing the items
I think this example miss the concurrency demo while enque'ing of items on ConcurrentQueue, where as Deque one is fine.
the example is ok
I believe the example is OK. It's not too complex (come on, we're talking about objects allowing concurrent access, there needs to be some parallel threads), and not too easy either. It's not trying to set up coding standards, but rather tries to explain the concepts required for this class (En-queue/Try De-queue)
Summing numbers is a bad example for a queue
Summing numbers and then checking the result is a really bad way to demonstrate a first-in, first-out concept. What order were the numbers added? More importantly, aside from the obvious "works with parallel programming", what is a simple situation where ConcurrentQueue<T> should be used instead of Queue<T>? No one can tell from this example. $0$0 $0 $0The example should show 2 concepts$0 $0 $0 $0Single threaded enqueue, then multi-threaded/parallel dequeing each element to the console$0 $0Multi-threaded/parallel enqueue, then single threaded dequeue each element to the console$0$0 $0 $0
Yes it is.
