Which type does aryStudent[] hold?
For this type, what is the definition of getFirstName? Is this a method? A property?
When your code is "red underlined", what is the error message it gives to you?

I guess that getFirstName and getNumber are methods. So, you have to call them using parenthesis. Something like:

C#

messageBox.Show("student First Name: " + aryStudent[i].getFirstName() + "\r\n student Last Name: " + aryStudent[i].getLastName() + "\r\n student number: " + aryNumber[i].getNumber(), "student " +i.tostring());
