How to empty a BlockingCollection

Question

I have a thread adding items to a BlockingCollection .

On another thread I am using foreach (var item in myCollection.GetConsumingEnumerable())

Answer 1

I'm using this extension method:

public static void Clear(this BlockingCollection blockingCollection)
{
    if (blockingCollection == null)
    {
        throw new ArgumentNullException("blockingCollection");
    }

    while (blockingCollection.Count > 0)
    {
        T item;
        blockingCollection.TryTake(out item);
    }
}

I'm wondering if there's a better, less hacky, solution.
