implement a query visitor in csharp

To implement a query visitor in C#, you can use the Visitor design pattern. Here are the steps to create a query visitor:

  1. Define the query visitor interface:
main.cs
public interface IQueryVisitor
{
    void Visit(SqlQuery query);
    void Visit(LinqQuery query);
}

  1. Define the abstract base class for queries:
main.cs
public abstract class Query
{
    public abstract void Accept(IQueryVisitor visitor);
}

  1. Define the concrete classes for each type of query:
main.cs
public class SqlQuery : Query
{
    public override void Accept(IQueryVisitor visitor)
    {
        visitor.Visit(this);
    }
}

public class LinqQuery : Query
{
    public override void Accept(IQueryVisitor visitor)
    {
        visitor.Visit(this);
    }
}

  1. Implement the query visitor:
main.cs
public class QueryVisitor : IQueryVisitor
{
    public void Visit(SqlQuery query)
    {
        // Handle SqlQuery here
    }

    public void Visit(LinqQuery query)
    {
        // Handle LinqQuery here
    }
}

  1. Use the query visitor to traverse the queries:
main.cs
var queries = new List<Query> { new SqlQuery(), new LinqQuery() };

var visitor = new QueryVisitor();

foreach (var query in queries)
{
    query.Accept(visitor);
}

By using the Visitor pattern, you can easily add new query types without modifying the existing code.
