Is there a way to get the last element in a Queue?

Question

I know stack is best and easiest way, yet could it be possible to obtain the last element in a queue without having to dequeue anything?

Answer 1

No, you would have to convert the queue to some other collection (using ToList or ToArray) in order to do this. This would effectively dequeue everything in the queue.

Keep in mind that by needing the last item from a queue you have effectively proven that you are using the wrong collection to hold your data. Consider changing your collection to another type that provides all the operations you need.
