A timetable Program windows phone 7

I am trying to make a new Time table app, where the user enters rowNo and colNo. I have done this code so far, but I get a Null reference exception, whenever I try to retrieve a textbox from the array.

XAML

<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" Background="{x:Null}">
    <Grid Name="bigGrid" Height="780" Width="1300">
        <Grid.Background>
            <ImageBrush Stretch="Fill" ImageSource="/TimeTableBackground.jpg"/>
        </Grid.Background>
        <StackPanel Name="panel" Height="128" Margin="0,-3,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="#1D000000">
            <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Time Table" FontSize="24" FontStyle="Italic" FontFamily="Segoe WP" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FFC83DA2"/>
            <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Edit Table" Height="72" Padding="0" FontSize="64" FontFamily="Comic Sans MS" FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="#FFFF6BD7"/>
        </StackPanel>
        <Grid Name="grid1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="{Binding ElementName=LayoutRoot,Path=ActualHeight}" Width="5000" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Background="#1C000000" Margin="-14,0,14,19" ShowGridLines="True" />
    </Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
<!--Sample code showing usage of ApplicationBar-->
 <phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>
    <shell:ApplicationBar IsVisible="True" IsMenuEnabled="True">
        <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton IconUri="/Images/appbar.edit.rest.png" Text="Button 1" Click="ApplicationBarIconButton_Click"/>
        <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton IconUri="/Images/appbar.save.rest.png" Text="Button 2"/>
        <shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
            <shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Text="MenuItem 1"/>
            <shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Text="MenuItem 2"/>
        </shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
    </shell:ApplicationBar>

XAML is just to know the names of controls. However, C# code is the one.

When you're populating tbArray you're using the following loops

for (int h = 1; h <= rowNo; h++) { ... }
for (int h = 1; h <= colNo; h++) { ... }

Since h is being initialized to 1 instead 0 in both cases, the tbArray[0,0] element does not get initialized and is null; hence the NullReferenceException.

I'm not really sure what your app is supposed to do but there probably is a better way to go about adding items than doing everything in code-behind as you're doing.

For instance, if you're trying to add additional rows when the user clicks an application bar button, then you should be using a ListBox instead of the Grid. The ItemTemplate of the ListBox would then contain a Grid having 6 columns (or a StackPanel with horizontal orientation), and a TextBlock within each cell. You can then bind each TextBlock's Text property to an ObservableCollection and simply add new text to all the collections, this will automatically update the UI.

There are several tutorials on XAML bindings and ObservableCollections if you Google it. Also, unless you're putting very little text in each of those TextBlocks, 6 columns is going to be too wide for a phone screen.
