It;s just a class declaration within a class.

	class TheClass
	{
		public void Work()
		{

			PrivateClass hello = new PrivateClass();

			hello.DoWork(); // with parameters needed
			Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", hello.StartTime, hello.EndTime);
			Console.ReadLine();

		}
		private class PrivateClass
		{
			public DateTime StartTime { get; private set; }
			public DateTime EndTime { get; private set; }

			public void DoWork()
			{
				StartTime = DateTime.Now;
				EndTime = DateTime.Now;
			}

		}
