How to work with “FIFO” in C# .NET?

Question

Is there a standard collection in .NET that implements a FIFO stack?

Answer 1

FIFO means first-in-first-out. The data structure you're looking for is called a Queue.

Answer 2

Are you looking for the Queue<T> class?

Answer 3

FIFO means first in first out. This is as opposed to LIFO (or FILO as lucero pointed out). which is last in first out.
