BlockingCollection and IProducerConsumerCollection in C#

In this blog we will learn BlockingCollection and IProducerConsumerCollection in C#.

Hi Folks,

 

Here we are learning what is Producer-consumer problem in C#. 

 

BlockingCollection<T> is a thread-safe collection class that provides the following features:

• An implementation of the Producer-Consumer pattern.
• Concurrent adding and taking of items from multiple threads.
• Optional maximum capacity.
• Insertion and removal operations that block when collection is empty or full.
• Insertion and removal "try" operations that do not block or that block up to a specified period of time.
• Encapsulates any collection type that implements IProducerConsumerCollection<T>
• Cancellation with cancellation tokens.
• Two kinds of enumeration with foreach (For Each in Visual Basic):
  
     - Read-only enumeration.
     - Enumeration that removes items as they are enumerated.
