Check the LinkedList class.

LinkedList<int> list = new LinkedList<int>();

list.AddFirst(1);
list.AddLast(2);
list.AddFirst(0);

Here's my implementation of an immutable deque:

http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2008/02/12/immutability-in-c-part-eleven-a-working-double-ended-queue.aspx

Notice that 7 this is an immutable double-ended-queue. Normally 6 you probably think of a queue as something 5 you mutate:

queue.Enqueue(10);

An immutable queue always stays 4 the same; when you add a new element, it 3 gives you back an entirely new queue, so 2 you use it as:

queue = queue.Enqueue(10);

if you no longer care about 1 the old value.

What you want is a linked list - there's one in the 1 BCL - that has AddFirst and AddLast methods

Here's a class to help people implement 1 this easily:

public class StackQueue<T>
{
    private LinkedList<T> linkedList = new LinkedList<T>();

    public void Push(T obj)
    {
        this.linkedList.AddFirst(obj);
    }

    public void Enqueue(T obj)
    {
        this.linkedList.AddFirst(obj);
    }

    public T Pop()
    {
        var obj = this.linkedList.First.Value;
        this.linkedList.RemoveFirst();
        return obj;
    }

    public T Dequeue()
    {
        var obj = this.linkedList.Last.Value;
        this.linkedList.RemoveLast();
        return obj;
    }

    public T PeekStack()
    {
        return this.linkedList.First.Value;
    }

    public T PeekQueue()
    {
        return this.linkedList.Last.Value;
    }

    public int Count
    {
        get
        {
            return this.linkedList.Count;
        }
    }
}
