title: Why/when should you use nested classes in .net? Or shouldn't you?
body: <p>In <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141127115939/https://blogs.msmvps.com/kathleen/2008/09/05/in-praise-of-nested-classes/" rel="noreferrer">Kathleen Dollard's 2008 blog post</a>, she presents an interesting reason to use nested classes in .net. However, she also mentions that FxCop doesn't like nested classes. I'm assuming that the people writing FxCop rules aren't stupid, so there must be reasoning behind that position, but I haven't been able to find it.</p>
