collections - A várólista korlátozott mérete <T> a .NET-ben?

I've knocked up a basic version of what I'm looking for, it's not perfect but it'll do the job until something better comes along.

public class LimitedQueue<T> : Queue<T>
{
    public int Limit { get; set; }

    public LimitedQueue(int limit) : base(limit)
    {
        Limit = limit;
    }

    public new void Enqueue(T item)
    {
        while (Count >= Limit)
        {
            Dequeue();
        }
        base.Enqueue(item);
    }
}

I would recommend that you pull up the C5 Library. Unlike SCG (System.Collections.Generic), C5 is programmed to interface and designed to be subclassed. Most public methods are virtual and none of the classes are sealed. This way, you won't have to use that icky "new" keyword which wouldn't trigger if your LimitedQueue<T> were cast to a SCG.Queue<T>. With C5 and using close to the same code as you had before, you would derive from the CircularQueue<T>. The CircularQueue<T> actually implements both a stack and a queue, so you can get both options with a limit nearly for free. I've rewritten it below with some 3.5 constructs:

using C5;

public class LimitedQueue<T> : CircularQueue<T>
{
    public int Limit { get; set; }

    public LimitedQueue(int limit) : base(limit)
    {
        this.Limit = limit;
    }

    public override void Push(T item)
    {
        CheckLimit(false);
        base.Push(item);
    }

    public override void Enqueue(T item)
    {
        CheckLimit(true);
        base.Enqueue(item);
    }

    protected virtual void CheckLimit(bool enqueue)
    {
        while (this.Count >= this.Limit)
        {
            if (enqueue)
            {
                this.Dequeue();
            }
            else
            {
                this.Pop();
            }
        }
    }
}

I think that this code should do exactly what you were looking for.

You should create your own class, a ringbuffer would probably fit your needs.

The data structures in .NET that allows you to specify capacity, except for array, uses this to build the internal data structure used to hold the internal data.

For instance, for a list, capacity is used to size an internal array. When you start adding elements to the list, it'll start filling this array from index 0 and up, and when it reaches your capacity, it increases the capacity to a new higher capacity, and continues filling it up.

Why wouldn't you just use an array with a size of 2? A Queue is supposed to be able to dynamically grow and shrink.

Or create a wrapper class around an instance of Queue<T> instance and each time one enqueues a <T> object, check the size of the queue. If larger than 2, dequeue the first item.

Well I hope this class will helps You:
Internally the Circular FIFO Buffer use a Queue<T> with the specified size. Once the size of the buffer is reached, it will replaces older items with new ones.

NOTE: You can't remove items randomly. I set the method Remove(T item) to return false. if You want You can modify to remove items randomly

Concurrent Solution

public class LimitedConcurrentQueue<ELEMENT> : ConcurrentQueue<ELEMENT>
{
    public readonly int Limit;

    public LimitedConcurrentQueue(int limit)
    {
        Limit = limit;
    }

    public new void Enqueue(ELEMENT element)
    {
        base.Enqueue(element);
        if (Count > Limit)
        {
            TryDequeue(out ELEMENT discard);
        }
    }
}

Note: Since Enqueue controls the addition of elements, and does so one at a time, there is no need to execute a while for TryDequeue.

If it's of any use to anyone, I made a LimitedStack<T>.

public class LimitedStack<T>
{
    public readonly int Limit;
    private readonly List<T> _stack;

    public LimitedStack(int limit = 32)
    {
        Limit = limit;
        _stack = new List<T>(limit);
    }

    public void Push(T item)
    {
        if (_stack.Count == Limit) _stack.RemoveAt(0);
        _stack.Add(item);
    }

    public T Peek()
    {
        return _stack[_stack.Count - 1];
    }

    public void Pop()
    {
        _stack.RemoveAt(_stack.Count - 1);
    }

    public int Count
    {
        get { return _stack.Count; }
    }
}

It removes the oldest item (bottom of stack) when it gets too big.
