Sealed classes are used to restrict the inheritance feature of object oriented programming. Once a class is defined as a sealed class, the class cannot be inherited. In C#, the sealed modifier is used to define a class as sealed

You can not inherit class form the seal class. If you know the Java then it is similar to "final class" in Java. Here is MDSN page for few examples.

C# offers a sealed keyword for protecting classes to be inherited. Why use Sealed classes ? You are implementing some security features using that particular class and don't want the object to be manipulated. Secondly, sealed keyword is an indication to Common Language Runtime (CLR) that there are no sub-classes to look down which further increases overall performance if properly used.
