What are reasons why one would want to use nested classes? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Returning an interface to the caller whose implementation you want to hide.

public class Outer
{
    private class Inner : IEnumerable
    {
        /* Presumably this class contains some functionality which Outer needs
         * to access, but which shouldn't be visible to callers 
         */
    }

    public IEnumerable GetFoos()
    {
        return new Inner();
    }
}
