How to incorporate a queue into a C# console application to read field values?

I am developing a C# console application using Visual Studio 2005.

I read as input, an XML file and then I create an Error report, if any of the individual fields within each record have an invalid value.

If a particular field has an error, I display the "Check Number" for this record and the field value in error.

In the code section that follows, I display a sample record that serves as my input file.

The problem I am facing is that I want to display the Check Number field value as the identifying field for each record with an error. However, the Check Number is the 4th field to be read from the XML input file in the field sequence.

Thus, if there is an error in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd field, I don't have the check number field value yet to display for my error report.

My code is in the code section that follows.

Do you know how this application code could be modified to create error records showing the Check Number value, when an error occurs in any field, including the first 3 fields as follows:

<csc:processing_date>
<csc:item_sequence_number>
<csc:account_number>

It was suggested that I could use a queue. Do you know how to incorporate the following queue into the existing C# console application that is in the code section?

System.Collections.Generic.Queue<string> tempQueue = new System.Collections.Generic.Queue<string>();

// field 1, if in error
tempQueue.Enqueue(field1);

// field 2, if in error
tempQueue.Enqueue(field2);

// field 3, if in error
tempQueue.Enqueue(field3);

// field 4 - "Check Number"
while (tempQueue.Count > 0)
{
    string field = tempQueue.Dequeue();
    // you should get back field1, field2, field3, in that order, so you can concatenate
    //  or whatever you would like to do with those values
}

Here is the format of the xml file:

<csc:item>
<csc:processing_date>20100702</csc:processing_date>
<csc:item_sequence_number>000002500759580</csc:item_sequence_number>
<csc:account_number>00000000000001111111</csc:account_number>
<csc:check_number>000000104216438</csc:check_number>
<csc:amount>0000002206</csc:amount>
<csc:routing_transit>007122258</csc:routing_transit>
<csc:bank_number>0088</csc:bank_number>
<csc:transaction_code></csc:transaction_code>
<csc:data1></csc:data1>
<csc:data2></csc:data2>
<csc:data3></csc:data3>
<csc:userField></csc:userField>
<csc:image_offset>0</csc:image_offset>
<csc:image_length>018218</csc:image_length>
<csc:image_side>A</csc:image_side>
</csc:item>
