Concurrent Priority Queue in .NET 4.0

Question

It seems there are lots of improvements in .NET 4.0 related to concurrency that might rely on concurrent priority queues. Is there decent priority queue implementation insid

Answer 1

I've found a great example of a concurrent priority queue here. Hope it will help you a little.

var priorityQueue = new ConcurrentPriorityQueue();

TKey in the context of this queue could be an int value or any other object that implements IComparable.

For consuming such a queue you may do a following:

var priorityQueue = new ConcurrentPriorityQueue(); 

// Add elements
priorityQueue.Enqueue(2, elementP2); 
priorityQueue.Enqueue(1, elementP1);

// Here you will receive elementP1
bool result = priorityQueue.TryDequeue(out KeyValuePair element);
