Generic Ring Buffer in C#
This data structure is helpful when creating lock-free algorithms. I'm not sure if the exceptions used are appropriate. Any suggestions?

When writing, perhaps instead of an exception, you could grow the queue. Allocate a new array, copy the existing elements and then add the new item.
For reading, it seems appropriate to me, given the Empty property - there is a test to avoid the exception.
The other alternative is to return null, and let the application handle it. If not handled, a NullReferenceException would eventually result. Hmm.
