I've been doing some work with accessing a Queue on multiple threads (to see just how non-thread-safe they are) and had one report a count of -10. :omg: But it worked just fine.

Ouch. That's probably even worse than it simply failing, because you could have production code giving bad results without an exception. X|

WTF? That is rather strange. I wonder what else the framework has in store for this forum?

The following is not a useful error message:
Quote from upgrade log:
src\Libraries\WindowsAPICodePack\Shell\Shell.csproj: Error on line 551291232. Expected 'ENCODING' but found 'utf-8'.
The file is 296 lines, not 551291232 lines. :doh: Visual Studio 2013 Premium. That error was nowhere near the issue (an unmatched tag on line 15)

The day you find an error message that accurately describes the error, then you can be surprised.

That's why they made System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentQueue[^] and the other concurrent collections. Sadly, there's no ConcurrentList.
And sadly the interface doesn't match the regular queue's.

The extra lines come from being a Premium version. ;P

"Error on line 551291232" Now would be a good time to argue for payment by lines of code. Even at a penny a line, you'd be doing well.

It was a C# project file that I had modified manually (changed framework version, removed file upgrade-related tags, fixed references) but I had accidentally removed a required end tag on line 15, which caused the error.
