C# Nested Classes and Inheritance -

just need nested classes , inheritance..

namespace blah {     private abstract class inheritedsomething     {         public void dosomething() {};     }      class otherclass : inheritedsomething     {         //stuff          class nestedclass : inheritedsomething         {             //stuff         }     } } 

is correct way of doing things? seems bit redundant nestedclass inherits inerhitedsomething when parent class inherits this... when remove inheritance nestedclass asks me make dosomething() static method.

so question is, way "correct" - both otherclass , nestedclass inheriting inheritedsomething or otherclass inherits inheritedsomething , dosomething() becomes public static void?

thanks!

correct or not depends on intend do.

inner types have privileged access enclosing type members not derive it.

what intention these classes?
