I am very new and very inexperienced. I have downloaded a WPF version of tetris from MSDN to review the code and try to see whats going on but there is an error in the program and I'm not sure what is causing it. The exception details are as follows:
System.IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled
Message=Index was outside the bounds of the array.

There is a lot more code but this is the section that I believe the error is in. If any other information is needed please feel free to ask.
i, j is referencing a non-exisitent index within
blocksControls. As to why that is the case you would need to debug the code under execution to get an understanding on why that index is non-existent.
