Question

Is there a way in C# to tidy up the following class declaration?

namespace Application.Namespace
{
    public class MasterClass
    {
        public class FlyingSaucer
        {
            public class Rotator
            {
                public class Cube
                {

Still maintaining the class structure, just cleaning up the declaration.

No – it’s already pretty tidy, given that you’ve got 4 levels of nesting.

But you almost certainly shouldn’t have 4 levels of nesting to start with. Why would you want to do that? You’ve got a class named subClass1 which isn’t a subclass by the normal meaning (i.e. derived from another specific class; subClass1 is only derived from object.)

Nesting classes is fairly rare – I don’t think I’ve ever seen even three levels of nesting, let alone four. Why do you think this is a good idea?
