Please note that the same nested switch logic can be reused in C++ and Java languages with a little language specific changes.

Switch statement is a very important programming language construct, appropriate usage can significantly speed up your code.
Keeping the importance of nested switch statement I've decided to put together a quick code example and make it available for the welfare of programmer community.

Example Background:
In case of this C# switch statement example, we have two text boxes and a button placed on a WinForm, when the user puts some text inside the first text box some text in second text box and then clicks the button our switch statement is fired in a button click handler.

The results are being printed using System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print function which cause them to show up in output console.

The user can enter 1, 2, or 3 in first text box and values a, b, or c in second text box. Anything else is handled in nested default sections.

C# .Net nested switch might not be used very commonly, but you never know when you'll run into a problem that's better handled by the gimmick like consumption of the construct. The exact code of a nested switch statement in C# .Net programming language is given at the beginning of this article.
