Query object implementation examples

Question

Can anyone recommend good tutorial, implementation or sample code on Query object pattern usage, in C#(Java...)?

I haven't found much with google.

Answer 1

With LINQ being almost everywhere, are you sure you need to reimplement the Query Object?

Basically, you can treat all classes from System.Linq.Expressions to be a good implementation of a Query Object pattern.

Answer 2

I suggest Martin Fowler's Query Object Pattern (http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/queryObject.html). Get his book "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture", you'll find sample implementation there.
