{
MyClass[][] myclass=new MyClass[4][];
myclass[0]=new MyClass[5];

myclass[0][0].x=10; // error here
}

MyClass[][] myclass=new MyClass[4][];
myclass[0]=new MyClass[5];
myclass[0][0] = new MyClass(); <----
myclass[0][0].x=10; // no error here

You have not created any instance of MyClass, only of an array of
MyClass. Here is the fixed code:

namespace test
{
class Program
{
class MyClass{
public int x;
int y;
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
MyClass[][] myclass=new MyClass[4][];
myclass[0]=new MyClass[5];
myclass[0][0]=new MyClass(); //<--You missed this
myclass[0][0].x=10; // error here
}
}
}

When you create an array, its elements are initialized to the default
value of the type of elements. For reference types, such as your
class, it is null. It would be zero for any numeric type.

What you must do is to create objects to store in your array:

myclass[0][0] = new MyClass();
myclass[0][0].x = 5;
